Progression Daily

AM- Walked a mile and jogged a mile. 1.03 miles 

PM- XC Season is Back. Set up for Desert Relays. I prefer watching the kids race. 2.5 miles 

AM- First Artic Circle Run of the year. Went out with girls and branched off with Vanessa and Kaelynn. Still getting my legs back under me. 4.24 miles 

PM- Wal-Mart Loop. Toasty run on the loop. Was gonna flip once a river fly attacked me. Never happened so I just kept running. 4.43 miles 

“Long Run” (of Death). Had a crazy morning with kids not sleeping. Got out at a bad time of day and ran to and up the tech ridge. I definitely would have run further but my brain was melting at about the 5 miles. The last 2 miles were a slow jog survival fest. 7.01 miles 

AM- Parked down by the river and ran up towards Sullivan then looped back on the road with some random turns. Legs felt really tired. 6.12 miles 

AM2- Joke of a run with the boys until I flipped to get ready for a meeting. 1.1 miles 

AM- Struggle fest. Stayed positive and finally got my legs moving a little bit. Ran up to the hospital and then down to the river. 6.05 miles

AM2- Pre Race. Warm up with girls and coach laps with Kaelynn. 3.10 miles 

PM- Got super jealous of Benji’s Hoka find at Ross so I had to find my own. Took the 3rd Ross to find a pair that will work for me. Tested them out for tomorrow. 2.51 miles 

Warm Up. A little jog before everyone got to PV. Then grouped up with Jason, Janz, and Rush for D.I. Loop. 3.57 miles 

More warm up in race shoes. Helped Ayden out for a lap or 2. 1.51 miles 

Race: 

Forced positivity into myself. Same ol’ weak 2nd and 3rd lap. Good news! This was my fastest “Hoka” 1600 (relay or open). Enjoyed the feel of the race shoes! Just need to trust and run faster. Embrace the pain or something. 1:17, 1:28, 1:30, 1:23. 1.01 miles 

Workout: Ran parts of the workout with Brooklyn, Aly, and Laura. Felt pretty smooth. Then went and jogged some slow miles around the old hood. Wanted more but decided I was good. 6.26 miles
