Today was an intended long run, but I was pretty sore. I only ended up doing six miles at about 7:45 pace. It felt pretty good though other than the soreness. I'm starting a life guard certification class so that will be good for cross training.

Haha, I am so tired. I didn't end up getting home until late last night because of my guard class and then I had to work. I got up and did another six. About half way through the run, I hurt my knee a little. I'm sorta clumsy and I was trying to get on a sidewalk to avoid a car but ended up falling. #grace 😅 So instead of a gain doing a long run I cut it shorter. I came home and iced it. I don't think I really hurt it, but I don't want to take any risks. Tomorrow will probably be more of a recovery day and then Thursday I'll for real do my long run. We start team practices tomorrow. I'm super excited to meet the new freshman and to see all of my teammates again. 

I'm having an easier time staying motivated. It's helped to just concentrate on myself and my training. My goal is to make state again, this time with my team. More importantly, I just want to get stronger and improve my time. That's the reason I started running two years ago. I just want to be healthy and the best version of myself.

So today was the first team practice. It was cool to see everyone again. The coaches had us do a 5-4-3-2-1 tempo workout. It hurt, not going to lie. Granted, that was my third hard day in a row. Tomorrow will definitely be easy. I've done a lot this week with running and my life guard training (which I am loving, I'm so excited to be certified). But overall, the workout was fun.

Today was an easy recovery run. I just needed to shake out the muscles, we are practicing some hard saves today in my lifeguard class so I need to prepare for that.

Today was a 70 minuter. Well, I guess not quite. I finished 8 miles in an hour and three minutes. That's a 7:58 average pace. I had time to do one more mile but I didn't feel like it. Plus I wasn't quite sure where to run to because I didn't want to back track. I am super happy with this workout. My course was not at all flat and that's the fastest I've ever run 8 miles. I didn't do a running cooldown, but i walked around and stretched  the run today was a lot easier mentally, which is weird when you are running alone  I guess I need to start planning 9 mile courses now.
