Luckily our camp didn't have to get up till later today so we were able to wake up at the same time and get our long run in! Ran the first 45 with Ness and Ashley to ease into it and give my foot a break. Ness and I ran into a skunk going down a hill but barely stopped a foot short, it ran away startled, so that was scary haha. Ran the last 45 with one of my leaders, sister Thomas, who runs a lot of halfs and marathons so she pushed me for the fast finish. 90 min/10 mi After, Sister Thomas taught me about this new thing, scientists are just learning about, called fascia. It's this stretchy connective tissue that covers and attaches to your muscles. And when we hydrate, stretch, and roll well it will stretch, otherwise there's a good chance of it breaking. Which is where injuries come in. Science is cool. |
