I've decided that Sundays are just going to be short and easy shakeout days. I've found that if I take two days off, my legs and hips get sore.

Today was supposed to be long run day but was cut short due to some stomach issues. I felt really good other than that. My pace was really strong even with the hills. They weren't really steep, but they were long and gradual. They get tough after a while.

I made today my long run day. Tomorrow will probably be speed at practice, but two hard days ina row won't kill me. It was lightly raining outside, which felt really nice. I like running when it's sprinkling outside. The run was okay, it wasn't my strongest. The pace was a little slower than what I usually run my long runs. It's was an 8:02 average today. I'm usually about seven to ten seconds faster. Not every run can be an awesome run. I was chased by two dogs at one point. (For those of you who don't know, this is quite a scary thing for me. I was mauled by a dog and it was very traumatic. I don't like them.) I stopped and let them sniff me and then they left me alone. They barked at me for a while though. They were really fat staffordshire terriers.

Today was a harder day at practice. Coach had us drive up to yellow hill. I was scared because that usually means ladders, but not today. He just had us run straight up, which isn't much better. It was considerably humid today. I know there are places that have worse humidity, but here we typically are very dry and have 0%. So you can imagine my surprise when it got super hard to breathe and I started felling this cold sweat. I thought I was dehydrated at first, but I've been drinking water like crazy so that wasn't it. I checked to weather after the workout and it said that it was 68% humidity. 

Other than the evil humidity, the workout was good. I would have liked to make it up the hill a bit faster, but I haven't been running hills for very long plus yellow hill is very steep. It's basicallly a 45 degree angle for a half mile. Once I got to the top though, I got my pace faster and going back down was fun. My watch said I was going at a sub six average pace. Hills are always fun. 🙃

Today was a recovery/core day at practice. Coach had us so a few core exercises after the warm up. After that, he sent us on a 20-25 mi ire run. My quads are super tight today. They usually are after hills. It also doesn't help that the day before I ran 10 miles. So the slower recovery run was much needed. I ran with a new freshman named Jody. She is super cool and I see a lot of potential in her. I've talked to her a few times. I was really surprised though because she asked if she could run with me. I was more than happy to say yes. She has a lot of determination. I hope she keeps at it because we need hard workers like her in order to get to state this year.

So after the normal warmup, coach sent us on an easy 15 minute run. I was worried because he said we were doing speed after and my quads were super tight. After the run, he had us do four sets of 90-60-30's. We had a break after the second set. Those are killer. My quads were okay for the most part. I feel really good about how I ran today. It was definitely strong and I tried to focus a little on my form, which helped me go faster. However, after the workout, my quads got really tight and are currently very sore. Same with my core. I've been rolling my quads out, but nothing seems to really loosen them. Awe well 🤷🏽‍♀️. No pain, no gain. I'll be a stronger runner for it.
