Long run day! First 3-4 miles with the squad, then Logan and I kept going. Keeping my long runs shorter and more relaxed until I build my mileage up to 50, so 2-3 weeks.

My hair was in a braid and the hairband fell out around 2 miles in, so I went through a strange progression of holding my hair -> tying it with a piece of string Kieran found on the ground -> tying it with a rubber band I found on the ground -> after that one broke, tying it with another rubber band, which stayed the rest of the run. Ah good times

Evening bike up Peets hill with Danny, found a little outdoor climbing rock on the Gallagator on the way back

Took the day off of running for long run and mileage coordination purposes. Tried fly fishing for the first time, was peaceful and interesting but would not necessarily call it "fun"

Peets Hill with Aly and Logan! Smoke has cleared up and the mountains look SO COOL.

6 min abs

Free group fitness classes at the rec center this week, so tried yoga after calc today with Aly and Kieran! It was great and we all decided to get passes for the semester wooo

holy crap climbed for a loooonnngg time with Danny and Braeden. (Read more for facts about this one crazy dyno route.)

OKAY here's what it was: Running start, R step up onto the volume, L step up onto the next volume (still running), and launch into the air, catch a small triangle volume with both hands. That's the hard part right? NOPE. Now it's L foot up on a small side volume, and the hard part is when you have to shift your hands and 100% tricep strength muscle yourself up so you can get your R foot on the same small triangle volume. Yeah couldn't do that part. But hopefully it'll be there on Monday and I can try again. Honestly satisfied I could catch the volume

this run kinda sucked... printed out a CalTopo map of the area NE of campus, scale was way smaller than I anticipated, and "trails" were sidewalks. Wow. lots of major road crossings too... I'll be sticking to the stuff south and east of campus.

Easy morning run with Konnor

biked to Second Wind with Danny, got some cheap climbing shoes, biked back, hit the tiny climbing gym at MSU. It's little but the routes are good. Concerned the 38.5s are too small, but I have been climbing in wayyy too big 40.5s so it could just be a big jump.

biked into town to get a swimsuit for triathlon club and check out where the grocery stores are

First practice with the triathlon team! Started out slow, picked it up to probably around 8:00 pace.

C • Triathlon pro inc? 2

First day of classes, people are busy so finally got out to run on my own. Slightly speedier this time, ~8:00 pace, although by how I felt I was hoping it would be more like 7:30-7:45. Oh well. Altitude + hilly trails will do it I guess?

went with Serafina to the rec center. Did this cool Jacob's Ladder treadmill for warmup, then did a circuit of 3x 10 shoulder press, 10 curls, 10 tricep extentions (12lb dumbells), then used TRX straps for angled inverse pushups, then used the pullup machine, and finished off with some core. Def won't go into this much detail next time but I want to remember what I did haha
