Holy smokes this was terrible.  My legs (quads and high hamstring) were so unbelievably heavy).  I just couldn't get moving.  My HR was so high.  Feeling super discouraged.

6 mile loop with out/back on Melissa's street.  54 degrees.

Felt HORRIBLE after yesterday's run.  Legs heavy.  I had an appointment with Scott (PT) and he said I was close to being overcooked.  Quads and high hamstring.  Feeling super discouraged.

Ran with Brittany and Laura.  13 mile out/back on MCT.  Stop at home to change shirt/GU/bathroom.  5 mile loop.  37 degrees.

Dropped off Brittany/Laura at mile 5 and saw/met my coach right after.  It was finally nice to put a name too a face.

14 mile at 9:10-9:20 (9:25, 9:33, 9:20, 9:29, 9:22, 9:28, 9:21, 9:28, 9:19, 9:15, 9:18, 9:20, 9:26, 8:49)

I was so nervous about doing this run.  Tuesday was so horrible and I'm not sure if I could've handled another Tuesday.  But I felt great on this run and was grateful Brittany's company.

60 minute nap

Walk with a little running.
