Another high mileage run today and a speed workout (wahoo...). warmed up about a mile to the old MCT and bc the track isn't exactly "runnable" rn we did our workout on the trail. It was 10x200m at mile pace with 2 min active rest inbetween and some speed squats inbetween the last few sets. Workout wasn't too hard, although it's hard to imagine running a whole mile at that pace #yikes. Average 200 was like a 40 seconds for me. After, it was just Guppy and I finishing up our mileage for most of the time again (shoutout to my best pal Gan cuz her calves are not doing so great right now. miss ya love ya <3). But nevertheless Guppy and I cranked out those miles... until Snowball. Ah Snowball, so cute, yet so troublesome. Snowball (as named by yours truly) is a dog (white retriever) that decided he really liked Gups and I when we were just about to turn around up in a neighborhood towards Suncrest. At first it was no biggie like, "oh my gosh it's so cute he likes to run with us!" but pretty soon we realized that Snowball was not planning on going home. We tried to lose the poor doggy several times and even tried knocking on some people's doors, but alas, it was to no avail. Snowball just loved us too much. So we decided our best option was just to keep him safe as he ran with us and we'd take him back to Skyridge and call the number on his tag or something (cuz there was no address on his caller... like what even?) So Snowball ran with us for a couple miles until we reached Smith's when we met this super nice lady who called the number on Snowball's collar and found an address for him and offered to take him home. (Come to find out Snowball's name is actually Oliver but whatevs) But seriously thank goodness we met that lady at that time bc idk if Jamie would have been too pleased with our new team mascot haha. I was a little bit sad to see Snowball go actually, especially cuz he distracted me from how dead my legs were hah. But yeah, we finished up the run. Not sure of the pace but it was probs somewhere around 8:30... idk tho.
ALSO huge happy birthday shoutout to my girls Kaylee and Hannah!
