I Can Do Hard Things

7 easy on home TM because I got up too late and it was hot.  15 minutes ancillary work

New entrance to Manilla Pond - 4x800 + 1x800 on hill on the way home - 64 degrees.  Right calf was extremely sore. I was stressing about dumb things last night and wasn't feeling very confident.  I didn't look at my watch till I was almost done with the first 800 and was shocked at how fast I was going.  These are the fastest 800 times I've run since 2014.  WOW!!

I went to Vasa for 30 minutes to work on my calf strength and leg press.  

TBT Class - it was leg day and I felt SO great.  Probably the best I've felt in a long time and was able to lift some heavy weights.  My calf feels great now.  GOAL:  heavy focas on calf and glute strength.  Feeling hopeful.

15 minutes calves at Vasa

PT with Mark

Out/back on the MCT for the drinking fountains.  72 degrees.  I wanted to do 6 pace miles on the way back (9:00-9:15) and I could only do a few!  That was way too much effort.  My legs felt very heavy.  Girls camp next week so I will have some time off.

Post run - TBT Class - leg day

Discovery Park to Melissa's Street - 57 degrees ( I needed an long sleeve shirt!). I went a little faster than I wanted so I could get to the Timp Half to cheer on Michelle.

I'm feeling really cooked.  I was supposed to take a cutback week this week.  But I didn't because I'm going to girls camp next week.  Everything hurts - hammie, hip, calves.  Feeling old.
