Garrett Faragher running

My legs were tired but they honestly felt better after the run than before and I got a good stretch in. 

Morning HR: 47

8x600s. My legs were tired but I was happy with the workout today. I did a good job of staying in the moment, and expecting it to hurt a lot and being fine with it. Today was confidence building that my fitness is getting better and that I am faster than I think I am as long as I am willing to be tough. 

Splits: 1:52, 1:52, 1:46, 1:45, 1:42, 1:42, 1:41, 1:39

Morning HR: 51

Legs felt good except for the calves. My achilles on my left foot starting bothering me a little bit on the last few miles though. 

Morning HR: 52

Early morning run with Cameron, Brennan, and Justin because I drove down to see my sister run at State. Today I was tired. But the pace was slow so it was fine. Calves are really sore but besides that my legs are feeling mostly recovered from the 5k effort last Saturday. 

Morning HR: 54

2 mile tempo in 10:13 (5:06, 5:07). 

Half mile hill rep splits: 2:16, 2:24, 2:25, 2:21, 2:25.

Honestly today I felt like my mental game was strong but for whatever reason I felt like my body didn't have as much to give as I hoped. The tempo left me feeling more tired than I thought I should have and so the hill reps were rough! The 3rd rep I fell off really bad from the leaders. I sat out then ext one then came back in and fell of a little at the end of the 4th rep. The 5th rep hurt really bad but I found it in me to not fall off. 

I felt like my lungs weren't super strong today. On the downhills I couldn't breathe at all but I didn't have enough energy to put in the effort to slow down. I actually was happy with my mental game but today is another reminder to be more diligent on the little things so I can get myself in better shape physically. Today was the hardest workout for me since school statrted.

HR: 49 

Legs were tired but the pace was more relaxed. I felt happy with the run and am excited to have a day off and rest my legs! 

Morning HR: 60
