I ran 5 miles today. I started at a nice tempo pace until the last two miles. They were uphill and my legs were just not having it. That's the problem with living on a hill, no matter where you start, you always end uphill. Otherwise it was a good run. I ended with Intergalatic by the Beastie Boys playing on my phone. You know it's going to be a good day when you end an early morning run with the Beastie Boys. I plan on doing some core stuff later.

I did a short run at recovery pace today. My legs were sore from yesterday and I want to do a long run tomorrow. Ended my run to Elevation by U2, that's a good song. Did some core stuff later.

Today was an 8 mile run at 8:15 average pace. The first 3 miles as always just sucked because it's this straight, subtle uphill road that goes on forever. Eventually you start to wonder if there is no end to this road. Your legs start burning and you just want to die. (In case it isn't apparent, I really hate this road.) But when all seems lost, you finally come to the three mile mark where you turn on to a different road. The next two miles are just fields and a few houses. Today though, I was running past this house and there was a deer standing in the yard. At first I thought it was just a statue as that is a surprisingly common thing(I'm dead serious). I continued to run when out if the corner of my eye I see this blob running at me. I stop just in time as the deer statue that really wasn't a statue dashes in front of me. I was like "GET OUT OF THE WAY BAMBI!".  Anyways, I kept running. I came to the part of the run where you run along the border of this corn field. The corn is just starting to sprout so it's still really tiny. There was this flock of magpies in the field that must have had something against me because they followed me for like two miles. They kept landing and taking off right in front of me. Then the last half mile of my run, I was running past this other field that had like five horses grazing in it. No joke, they all just started neighing at me. Other then the animals deciding to hate me, it was a nice run. I felt good the whole time. I ended my run to Shots by Imagine Dragons, which is my favorite song by them.

Today was one of those days where I didn't want to run. I did because I only had 3 miles to do to top off my 30 miles for this week. Plus I had to try out my new Brooks Adrenaline 16s. Those are pretty sweet(as bright green shoes always are!). On my run I passed the field of horses from yesterday. They were bopping their heads up and down and it was kind of weird. As soon as they saw me they started neighing again. It was more aggressive today. I guess my beef with the animal kingdom continues. This never happened when I had people to run with. All of my running buddies are currently in vacation though so I guess I'll tough it out. I hate running alone though. It helps to have other people to push and motivate you. Ended my run to Shots by Imagine Dragins again. The music gods must be sending me a sign. 🤔
