Felt exceedingly well today. My ankle is no longer preventing me to run my best and my form was quite well mannered. I look forward to this week and next, the latter containing the most important event in my life to date.

First workout all year that I’ve actually struggled with. Not sure why though. My lungs and gut just hurt real bad. I tried treating it like a race and forcing myself to fight through it, but after the 3rd and 4th reps I thought I wa going to die. Led the last one for the most part until the end but I stuck in there and only fell off by like a second or two. Was a good workout that reminded me that I need to fight if I want to be great.

Was pretty tired today and felt like cutting back a few minutes early but I ended up pushing through the end. I’m pretty beat up physically and mentally from yesterday.

Up the giant turkey farm hill and back. Pushed pretty hard down the hill. Finished sub 6 the last 3 miles. Felt good to go hard at the end. 

Ran Logan’s mile thing for hygiene kits for homeless kids later so that was cool.

Slow avg with very many stops and jogs

Pretty weak run with very little effort. Just ran up to a mustang pass carrying shovels and worked on it for Alex’s project for like 2 hours and then ran back. Trail looks super good though so I think it’s fine.
