Step by step, mile by mile

not gonna run today but i'm gonna complain! got to live the med school dream by working an all-nighter #money also got a $3 raise a week or so ago, accidentally did a 24 hour fast yesterday because work was work, but i feel good in general, mostly from eating super clean; it feels good to just eat basic foods like rice and beans and fruit all the time. foot feels fine, not aggravated by the constant walking. probably walked 20 miles since my last run. ran about a minute to my car 20 minutes ago, and going to again(on my lunch break right now) because of the rain. foot felt fine, was wearing some real stiff jordans with no support either. so i should be good to run tomorrow after i sleep 24 hours after my shift because i've been awake since 5am saturday. 4 hours left to work! don't fail me now coffee. gonna get that 24/7 gym membership tomorrow since it's supposed to be raining a lot in the near future

5 miles. 5-second difference between the fastest and slowest split. peroneal tendon felt good, foot felt a little sore buying groceries right after but i’m hoping it’s from a mix of four days off and forgetting about really needing to get new shoes. i’ll run in my flats tomorrow and christmas; they’re in much better condition. felt amazing out there

8. tried to run as even splits as possible without looking at my watch. foot felt good!

AM- tad over 10k before work. might run after, wasn't planning on it. i guess we'll see how i feel at 7. happy kwanzaa eve everyone

PM - short run after work. did a lap(~1200m) pickup in 3:48, PR by 4 seconds. probably shouldn’t have, but didn’t hurt anything doing it.

AM - 10 easy. felt tired towards the end. would have tried to get the full 15 in for the day but i still need to get new pegs and the current pair are far past their prime, so to speak. 7 of the mile splits were either 7:17 or 7:21

PM - 5. had the worst side stitch. got the gym membership today so upper body after, first time i've lifted since like september i think. sauna after that. i'm gonna be in that sauna so much you'd think we were going steady

can't believe i'm on peg pair #4, considering i got the first pair in june and i usually won't retire a shoe until it's got at least 700 miles on it

AM - 7 mile light progression, starting with a 6:46 and ending with a 5:52. 6:23 average pace. 3 mile cd + core and sauna at the gym after. cooldown was 6-minute pace which was surprising because it felt like a shuffle. still not starting real workouts until either monday or wednesday, but i'm happy with this.

PM - 5 after work. forgot my shorts at home so ran in an undershirt and my scrubs, they're actually not that bad for running. i am trying to go to bed right at 9PM every night and if my next door neighbors don't learn how to use their inside voices i'm throwing hands

SOTD: 7th chamber - wu-tang. if i had a list of best starts to opening verses to rap songs, rae on this song and inspectah deck on triumph would both be top 5

AM - 10 easy @6:52 pace, so a little spice on it. legs and sauna after. i have some delayed onset muscle soreness in my shoulders from thursday, the soreness in my hamstrings from today was delayed in no way

PM - 5 after dinner with strides. weekends are meant to be single-run days when i'm doing workouts, but without workouts to recover from i had too much pent up energy to go to sleep for work early tomorrow. legs felt good considering i'd done weights earlier. i'll single tomorrow. strides felt excellent
