Total Distance

6.00

6 miles ran on the river trail. I can tell my fitness is improving. It is hard to explain in words. I know you all have felt the same thing. When things begin to feel like they are clicking. Turnovers get smoother, you feel more light on your feet, like your barely skiffing the ground. Lungs feel like they can expand a ton, your not out of breath easily. Your recovery pace starts to drop as you get better. But it still feels like a recovery. I am starting to feel this. It seems to be just the beginning so I know there is more to come with smart and correct training. I seriously love running.

Weights afterwards at home. Plyo's too.

Way to go Lily! There is such a satisfaction in seeing all your hard work pay off! Remember to get your sleep (nap if you have too)! I'll look for you on Saturday. I'm running the half (kinda of...I'm doing my 22 miler, so I won't be racing it). Good luck!

Maybe it's hard to explain in words because you don't know the difference between your and you're. Am I still in brat mode?

I'm going to give you an aneurysm. Don't mind me. Besides you've got a wedding to plan for. Lily and running sitting in a tree...

Nice job, Lily. I'll let you know if I ever feel like that.
