I can do it. I will do it NINE times!

Went out on the short Providence loop and did my 5x30s pushes. Felt pretty darn horrible, it was about 4pm. I need to start eating food more. (K3 23.8)

Best run ever! Ran up to the BST and up to the trailhead at Green Canyon and back to my house. I just got into a great rhythm and felt super awesome the whole time. It was so super excellent. Yay running. :) (K3 32.6)

Later in the afternoon, I went with Cami and did the drill workout.

Ran the Jardine Juniper trail. It was hard! The climb felt pretty tough, but overall it was a very awesome run. I did have to stop a couple times on the way up because I'm a wimp. Or something. Hopefully I won't be sore tomorrow. Or super sore at least. And I want to do it again. So that next time I will be better and not stop as much. And then I'll do it again and again and maybe sometime I will do it without stopping. :) (K3 42.1)

My legs were pretty tired this morning as I headed out to do the "push" workout for the week. Warmed up for a few minutes as I headed down 6th east, then started on my 4x5:00 @ 60 effort, 4x2:00 @ 30 effort and 4x1:00 at 15 effort, all with 2:00 jog recovery between. Got all the way into Hyde Park before I turned around, then I just cooled down until I got home. My legs are pretty thoroughly shot! Whee. (K3 51)

Went out on a nice easy recovery run with Vanessa on my Canyon loop. Just took it easy, talked and ran how I felt. By the end I didn't feel quite as horrible as the beginning. (K3 55.7)

A surprisingly good run, especially for about the first 10 miles. Went on my extended Providence loop and I got into a super nice rhythm about 3 miles into it and felt good until the last two miles or so. Then my foot started hating me and I had to slow up and try to run on softer ground until I made it back home. I stretched and iced and hopefully calmed it down some. It had better not keep this up or I will have to... I dunno... punish it or something. I hate my foot, it is a stupid piece of crap that hates me right back. >:( That is my angry face. (K3 68)

Overall, a pretty good end to an exhausting but reasonable victorious week of running. I missed one of the drill workouts for the week and I didn't do strides after one of the runs either. But other than that, I did well doing the pushes and allotted time for my long run. Next week I will get in both of my drill workouts and hopefully actually make it to 60 miles like I was planning, even with going down to SG for a few days and seeing John for the first time in a month!
