Step by step, mile by mile

AM - 10. felt good. despite all my trashing of running laps last week, ran at hilton. like a toxic relationship, i just keep coming back. i should contact the city to rename this park after my ex olivia. mainly ran here because i don't have to wait until the sun comes out to run like i do on the trail

PM - 15. felt better than usual at the start, which was a trap because with all the uphill before the turnaround i'd used up all my feel-good miles by the halfway point. luckily i'm in good enough shape that the last half wasn't much harder; the downhill helped too. last week i'd take these PM runs a little harder but doing 10 in the morning instead of 5 probably means i'll have to take it a bit easier.

AM - 10. taking the pace easier today to let the legs recover a bit

PM - off. gonna try a triple tomorrow to see how it feels and didn't want to preface that by finishing 15 miles at 8pm when i'd probably be starting the first run around 2am. running crazy mileage was so much easier last november when i could start a long run at 8am or a shakeout at 3pm. still, feel really fit, body isn't really broken down despite running more miles in the last 7 days than i did in march, april or may(more than april and may combined!)

AM - 8. gonna add some distance to my usual 5-mile shakeout and give myself a little extra rest before the next run. ran the first 10 minutes or so on the road, achilles didn't love that but once i hopped on hilton felt better.

AM2 - 15, 7:08 pace. felt amazing, relaxed on the pace a bit after 7 miles

PM - 10 easy. felt better than i expected; went to buy coffee grounds before the run and i think walking around the market helped. 

AM - 8 real easy. just working through the kinks from yesterday's running and loosening up for today

PM - 12. felt a bit stiff at the start but loosened up throughout.

AM - 8

AM2 - 15. felt good

PM - 6. wanted to do 10 like tuesday and felt i could have, but it started storming at the start and only got worse as i clicked off the miles. when i got worried for the first time in my life about getting struck by lightning is when i bagged it. at least i got the AM runs in. i have a topical aggression towards this tropical depression

was raining too hard this morning and knee's been a little sore the past day or so, so i saw the chiropractor and i'll take tonight off to let it settle.

AM - 8. legs felt a bit lethargic from ~36 hours off but besides that, fine. i got 3 hours of sleep thursday night and blew a tire last night and had to spend forever changing it because the jack that came with my car was total ass, so pretty tired. i'll get in a solid nap later today

2 miles running home from where i'm getting my tires changed. went home, took a nap, got woken up by a call that it was done like an hour later, and ran 3 miles back. my legs really hated running on the roads, funnily enough the second i started running by hilton and hopped on the grass they went away instantly
