It's a RUNderful life

Real good run today. It was medium recovery. Ran the what I think I'll call the "double dip loop". Legs felt good and it went quick. After did abs and hips. 

So today was crazy. Did a two-mile wu and then we did the "6-minute test". Got a little farther than I did last time, but I definitely could have done better I think. My legs are just not used to going that fast haha. Also my pacing was not the best. Oh well. Shoutout to Mario who dominated this workout. After I had no time to finish mileage because of a conflict, and I just was not able to get it done. I guess I can only do so much.

More speed today. Mile wu and then we did 200,400,800,1600,800,400,200. The 200s and 400s were at mile pace. 60 sec rest after the 200 and 90 sec after the 400. The 800s and 1600 were at 5k pace. 2:30 rest after the 800s and 3:30 after the mile. Hit 40, 82, 3:00, 6:05, 3:00, 78, and 32 (i think). Overall it was an okay workout. My legs were not feeling the whole "let's go fast" thing today so I struggled on the ones at the end that were mile pace. However all were slightly below pace so i'm not gonna say it was bad. After did a grass barefoot mile and then the two-mile loop. Legs and feet felt wrecked. Abs and hips after. 

Pre-meet and high mileage today. Started off with a 2.5ish mile wu and then an 800m at race pace on the grass. Ended up being a little faster than pace even tho my legs felt like, well, very heavy sticks... anyway. after did some starts with the team and then finished up mileage, which was about 5.5 more miles. Went with some of the girls and Jamie down the MCT to the rail trail, along that for awhile, and then back. Legs were super tired overall. I think i'll be able to pull it together tomorrow for the meet... hopefully. Abs, hips, and ice bath after. 

*shoutout to Riley for the banana suit. Much appreciated. 

Well long story short, my legs were wrecked from all the workouts and high mileage this week, but I tried hard. Stuck with this Springville girl for like 90% of the time but she out kicked me in the end :/ Ended up finishing 8th. After had a good cooldown of about 5 miles. 

Early run this morning. Met up with Gan and Gups at the MCT and went out three and then back. Then we drove to Kneaders and met up with good ole Mario and Sami for three more miles. It was so fun to talk to Sami; she's the best, hit up her blog. Overall, a super good run. Legs felt a little tired from yesterday, but not too bad. Also saw the coolest sunrise ever #earlyrunperks

After the run we met up with a bunch of the team at Kneaders for our long-awaited french-toast-eating competition. Even tho the girls didn't quite pull out the win, we gave it a good shot (except for Guppy smh) and it was pretty delicious up until the 5th one lol. Shoutout to Gan for being a beast and eating SIX french toasts for our team.
