I Can Do Hard Things

Home TM because of the storm.  I actually felt pretty good on this run.  Probably because I set my TM at 5.3mph and my HR was way down!

Out/back on MCT - 41 degrees and sunny.  I've finally felt slightly inspired to do some speed work.  I recognize I'm starting from ground zero and have to give myself a lot of grace.  But after feeling bitter and anger at running for 10 months, I'm proud of just getting out the door.

5x400 at whatever speed felt hardish

Then I spent the rest of the day working in my garden in the sunshine.  It was my first day off in 3 weeks from work.  I feel good today.

Home TM - My legs felt like absolute crap today from yesterday's TBT workout.  Holy hamstrings ;/

Discovery Park to Melissa's street.  57 degrees.  I walked a lot of this run.  My body/legs are SO trashed from the gym this week.  I physically was cooked.  I only ran 5 miles (with tons of walk breaks) and walked the last mile with my dog.  SI joint is feeling way better after all the stretching yesterday.

Next week is a cut back week.

Pam's route - 52 degrees.  Feel like CRAP.  Slept horrible last night.  Work was CRAZY stressful yesterday.  I need an extra long nap.  Lots of walk breaks during run because I couldn't breathe.

So sick and dizzy.  I got a migraine cocktail IV after work.  That was SUPER awesome and I felt significantly better afterwards.  Worked in the yard all evening.

I felt better enough to run but not with Michelle.  Pam's loop.  46 degrees and sunny.

60 min leg lift at Vasa

Slow on home TM to keep peace with my SI joint.  Shockwave and scraping at work today.

Pam's route - 54 degrees.  I was nervous about how my SI joint would feel during this run.  I've been stretching a ton and it is feeling a little better.

Ever since I gave my notice at work, I've been sleeping SO much better.  I'm finally starting to lose weight and have a small amount of confidence.  I've been working with my therapist about being like a buffalo - facing adversity/being uncomfortable head on.  Embracing the hard.  Buffalo 100 mile run=Toby.

I was excited with these times.  This is the 3rd time I've done this workout and everytime I keep getting faster.  Not where I used to be, but I'm making progress.  AND I hate short/fast stuff....BEING THE BUFFALO.
