It's a RUNderful life

Mile wu and then the "Kicker" today. My time ended up being a 10:12 which I was not happy with considering my PR is 10:05. However for not running for almost three weeks I guess it could have been worse. I felt like I was going a good pace, but looking back I took it way to easy coming up the second hill and right after the hill. Get'em next time I suppose. After ran back down, did a lil more, and then did abs and hips. 

Mile wu and then low recovery run today. It's a good thing it was recovery cuz I needed it for sure. Legs just felt heavy, probs cuz the kicker yesterday, working all day, and not getting near enough sleep. 8:15-20ap. After did a weight workout (toes to bar got me good) and then abs and hips as per usual. 

Mile and a half wu up to the Skyridge track for the 6-min test today. Felt pretty good going into it, but actually ended up getting a little less distance I think than last time, but not by much. So that sucks. Idk what happened. Definitely could've opened up more on the last lap I guess. After ran back then did about a mile more to finish. Abs and hips.

Lonely but pretty medium recovery today at Bear Lake. 8:15ap, legs were not feeling very good so it was kind of a struggle. 

Another lonely run at Bear Lake today. Ran out toward the lake today which was pretty. Mile wu and then I tried to do the steady state run the best that I could but I was NOT feeling so good today so it was very very rough. Basically I could only do two miles of steady state, 6:55ap, which should have been not so bad, but for some reason I felt wrecked. After the two fastish miles I just tried to keep a decent pace for one more mile and then I really dropped the pace to between 8:45-9:00. Basically I was exhausted after this run even though I should have been fine so I don't know what's up. Probably nutrition and sleep but who knows. If anyone has some motivating words for me that would be much appreciated.

Last run at Bear Lake today, and although it was probably the slowest 5 miles ever, I felt better mentally than yesterday. I ran through Laketown a bit and then toward the lake, but instead of going all the way there I went on this cool dirt road through the trees that was mega-pretty and enjoyable. 8:35ap lol. Since it was high mileage today I planned on splitting up my run and doing four more when I got home... but that obviously didn't happen. Whoops.
