Morning Run

Afternoon Run

I took it out hard. No more baby running. This run is always painful but today I didn’t feel the pain or lactic acid bc of my hill training. 

I thought it was gonna hurt from the start but I was mentally prepared to hammer til the end. I was gonna give up. This run is so important for racing on the road. 

I open with a 5:27 mile but 78sec first quarter. Every step I take I imagine I have good form and I let the sound of my forefoot take me over like those professional athletes I keep watching. 

Mile 3 and 4th were slow. Too much dirt and dead plants from the rain makes it hard to move. But I need to work on those miles. 

Going back wasn’t as fast but I kept the momentum. And then I woke up. Last mile felt so smooth and powerful. I dropped a 5:14 mile with ease. Stay even pace for the full mile. I didn’t even kick hard. 

Good stimulation at long last. Hard work paying off. I finish feeling fresh. With a lot of energy to spare. Good training day.
