Life's Swell

7 miles out toward the airport. It felt soooo nice: my body, the weather, the foot, everything. I was just chillin and wanted to make it 7 without dying and to my surprise when I looked down at my watch I was hitting around 7:05 most of the time. With 2 left I decided I wanted to pick it up a little and make it a quicker finish. 6:30 and 6:35 for the last 2. 6:58 avg. 

Islands in the stream by Dolly Parton was Stuck in my head the whole time. Although it is a nice song, it got a lil annoying

5.4 with Preston in the morning on prospector. It was fun to run and catch up a little. It was hard. I had a tough time breathing for some reason. 8:17 average. Pretty decent for a trail. 

Went to Durango’s for lunch. I forgot how dang good it is 

3.6 with the PV Girls team. It was fun to catch up mostly with Addi. And fun to meet the new assistant girls coach. Missed coach robs tho, I thought I’d see him. 

Hiit workout after. It was sooooo hard haha but it was fun nonetheless. My foots Buggin a little again. I think it may be my black nike structures. Those are the shoes I wore when it began. And that’s what I had on this afternoon 

Am- 6.5 miles to Sullivan and into hell hole. And then back the longer way. It took me a second to warm up but once I got going it felt nice! I picked some creosote.  I luvvvvv that stuff 

Holy cow! I have never been so sore possibly ever. That hiit workout got me good. My whole body hurt every time I tried to move in my sleep. 

Pm- 3.5 with the high schoolers nice and chill. Felt good once I got going

I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten 10000000 peanut butter pretzels this break sonfar

Am- Scottie wanted to run and Bentley wanted to wait a lil. So 30 minutes with Scottie and then when he was done, 30 with bent. It felt ok. My body wanted to go but my hamstrings are sooooooo tight. Hopefully they’ll feel a little better tomorrow.

Probably should have done some pickups or something but I think I’ll throw some in tomorrow instead. Not too worried considering this will be my highest mileage week in a hot second 

Pm- 2 miles easy with bent on his bike around Nichols peak 

Waited til a little later to run today. Finally got out at about 4:00. 7 up and down both sides of formaster with a little push up each side of the hill. 3xbathroom break, probably for the few too many treats I’ve had the last few days. thank heavens for porta potties, but I need to learn some self control in my eating habits. 

Scottie got his wisdom teeth out. He made me pay him 5$ to go to the dr office with him and he wasn’t even funny. Not even worth it and I’m a lil disappointed:/

9.25 with my dad on the bike. Drove out to green valley and ran home. It was nice to chat. But I’m mad he wouldn’t run with me. 7:30 average. It is a beautiful day. Too beautiful for december. I shoulda gone with a short sleeve shirt. 

We had our fam Christmas party and I learned a new game called code names. It was soooo fun. We also got some real winners in the white elephant exchange. Possibly some of the best ones yet
