Today went alright. I felt like my legs wouldn’t go and that I wasn’t struggling as much as I could. I enjoyed running with horizon right on my shoulder. Did a slight regression today, so I need to either go out less aggressive or (the one I prefer) push myself harder and be willing to suffer more. Also my right foot was stiff and a bit sore during cool down. Legs also felt heavy after the workout.

Went for a shakeout from home. The legs felt heavy at the start but better st the end. My calves were sore and my right foot was painful on uneven surfaces and running downhill. I made sure to ice lots and roll my foot. Beks even gave it a nice massage.

3 x 10 step ups (22.5)
3 x 10s A-run

3 x pull-ups (11, 16, 17)

Step ups were challenging and I focused on getting the strength from the supporting leg and not pushing up. Right foot was a it sore when stepping back down from the step. Good pull ups love these.

Legs still feeling the race, but run went alright. My right ankle/foot feels like it’s been cramped since going to bed last night. Need to work on activating The hip flexor for the drills. Need to stomp the foot down and not scuff.

Decent strength today. My right knee was bugging me the slightest for the leg exercises.

Today was probably one of my best races so far. I went out at a good pace that would test my willingness to suffer on the way back. I was running with a little pack up until 4 miles where I questioned myself on whether I was running too fast for this long of a race and I fell off. There was another women in this pack and she went ahead. Someone watching yelled to not let her go and I quickly changed gears and went to catch her and pass her for good. Felt pretty good from miles 5-7. The music and cheering really helped me. Just after mile 7 I started to freak out a little because I was really starting to hurt. I kept reminding myself to find a thought that serves me. Here was a guy up ahead and I just had to glue my eyes to him. The last two miles I was desperately wanting to slow down or stop but I kept moving on. The last mile felt like it took a while but I kept reminding myself to continue to push. I got the finish line and lay on the ground then the ambulance people came to help me. I was really happy with the effort, but I need to work on how to stay calm and continue to push and not let thoughts distract me from the goal.
