Step by step, mile by mile

AM - 4 on hilton, 6:18 pace. saw the chiropractor to get my hips fixed up yesterday; long overdue

AM2 - 6 on sokol, forgot to charge my watch so no clue on the pace. kept a decent effort though. wanted to go for 10-12 and felt like mentally i was prepared to die trying in the humidity, but my ankles were feeling pretty stiff and after 6 felt like going longer would just be playing russian roulette with the peroneal tendonitis gun

AM - 5 on hilton, no watch. first 5-piece for the shakeout on an AM double since honestly i don't know when.

AM2 - 7 on sokol, 6:27 pace. legs felt stronger than yesterday. actually, felt better than i have in a while. funny how doing 2 runs in the span of like 3 hours can do that. 

also shoutout to the carolina hurricanes for gifting me the misery of watching my team get blown out in a home game 7. i've deleted all rangers fans' contact information from my phone

AM - turf + 4 on hilton, 6:11 pace. felt like this would have been a really good one if it were any other season of the year. with the humidity after like 10 minutes i'm potentially seconds away from redlining at any given time. and while i do like incorporating the turf routine to loosen up, it also means i'm running hot before the run even starts. 

AM2 - 4 on sokol, 6:40 pace. ugly run; my legs felt better than either of the sokol runs i did the last two days but mentally i just felt exhausted. think it's mostly due to getting 6 or less hours of sleep the last week or so but the humidity definitely expedited the issue. spent the last mile trying not to die and wondering if i could just exclusively run indoors on the treadmill for the next 12 weeks without repercussion; i'll work on fitting another hour or two of sleep somewhere in my schedule though
