Two days, two trips around Freeman Lake. Today was a little special though. For whatever reason, Freeman Lake has always been a mental challenge for me to finish. It's not that long of a run, but because it's off-trail it is a bit more of an obstacle to conquer. I've never actually finished the entire route without stopping before, even be it for a minute or so... until today! I was pretty stoked with myself, finished the entire thing without stopping my feet once which says a lot because I normally psyche myself out halfway through even though my body feels fine. A mental victory for sure, props to me.
Yesterday sucked though. I was running Freeman and went into a jogging coma, just completely spaced out for whatever reason and didn't pay attention to the path in front of me. There's tree roots sticking out of the ground everywhere and I got to know one particular one very well. I kicked the root head on, launched into the air, did a sumo belly flop, arms flailing in the wind, and completely ate dirt. An epic moment for sure. And now I got cuts all over to sport for a while.
This Saturday, it's going down! 5K here I come, that medal is good as mine!
