Step by step, mile by mile

AM - 5. pretty sure i got salmonella from mixing raw egg into my rice last night, not realizing the "best by" date passed like 6 weeks ago. at least i can still run for now

AM2 - 10. legs are still green enough that anything more than "slow and easy" pace is out of the question, but getting 15 miles in before 7:30a is something good enough i can look past that for the time being.

PM - 5. felt easy! great great great start to the week, salmonella aside

sotd: handcuffs - parliament/ i'd rather be with you - bootsy collins. two funk classics for the price of one

AM - 5. managed to get it in right before the 3-day aftershock from cristobal comes in

PM - 5. got hit with some wicked abdominal cramps after the morning run from what i still assume to be a milder case of salmonella so skipped the second AM run. barely managed to survive a afternoon shakeout with the cramps still being an issue

sotd: grown simba - j cole. not a big cole fan but i loved the mixtape this is from in high school and this song still gets me super hyped, partly because of the nostalgia of all the times i listened to the tape running in high school, and party because it's a good track

AM - 5. probably gonna be another 10 mile day; abdominal cramps are still bugging me. kind of annoying but probably for the best. it's arbitrary but as long as i feel better by thursday i'll probably get a triple-digit week without killing myself to get it

PM - 5. no cramps, so i think i'm past the salmonella issue

sotd: get back - ludacris

AM - 12. sleep schedule is out of wack so started this one at midnight, or rather 11:58pm yesterday, but who cares. slow and easy, but i'll take slow over hurting any day :') plus the run yesterday was a little quicker so it even out. longest run since february! geez

sotd: the blacker the berry - kendrick lamar. song been hitting different lately

AM - 5 shakeout. ran at midnight again; meant to run 8 in the evening yesterday but a nap at 3pm resulted in me waking up at 8pm when my phone alarm didn't go off. feel like i'm starting to get into a groove again for the first time in forever, sleep aside.

AM2 - 12, grass was more dewey than malcolm's little brother, shoes were drenched by the end. could feel the mileage freak in me coming out on the last mile when i realized i had about as much energy in the tank as i had at the start, but i have some leg strength to regain before i start putting up the ridiculous mileage days again. i mean the plan for today is 25, i guess i can call that safely ridiculous.

PM - 8. ran at 4 because i wanted to get to bed earlier since i work a 16-hour shift tomorrow, good lord was it hot. super happy with today, not because it's the most miles i've ran since february but because how easy it was to get it. first time i've felt like myself since the hip displacement in january. next week will be the real test if i'm back, then the week after that is a down week with a long run. hoping to get my second 30-miler

sotd: some things last a long time - daniel johnston

AM - 5 before work.

sotd: south of heaven - slayer
