I Can Do Hard Things

I headed up the LP Hwy again this morning.  They switched the construction cones, so I tried to stick on the sidewalk.  But at each intersection, they have laid new cement which has plastic covering over it, so I had to tip toe over it.  Very complex!!

I'm still contemplating HOW great I felt this morning.  My first mile was slow and hard (but it also has a mile long hill), but after that I was cruising!

50:38 

5 min walk/5 min run

4 min walk/6min run

2 x 3 min walk/7 min run

2 min walk/8 min run  - I was about a mile away from my house and wanted to see if I could run an 8 minute mile.  But I did it in a 7:37.  Yahoo!

No ankle pains.  My kids got up so darn early because of day light savings, so my morning nap was cut short :(

3 x

10 back lunges

10 side to side lunges

10 bicep curl/overhead press

60 second plank

On the RUN:

Calves felt very tight and very beat up from yesterday's hard effort.  

4 min walk/6 min run

3x3 min walk/7 min run

LOTS AND LOTS of foam rolling on my calves and ITB.  Ankle is achy/tired today. 

48:47:00

3 x 3min walk/7 min run

2 x 2 min walk/8 min run

Fair to partly cloudy on the run.  My ankle was very very tired and my calves ached.  UGHHHHHHH!!!!!!  

Long stretching session and foam rolling.  I wore my compression socks all day yesterday and today.

I still haven't registered for  Ogden even though I was accepted into the lottery.  I don't know why.  I think I have this deep dark feeling that I just won't be ready.  Running makes me mental.

Tomorrow is a rest day. 

Outside.  No watch. Hurried because I had a baby shower to put on.
