Basics

My shins kill. My motivation sucks. Marathon is on Sunday. I'm stoked.

5K

5K was today... I ONLY SPEAK IN GOLD SON@

Track Star

Today's run was nice; it may have been one of the most beneficial outings I've had so far minus Freeman Lake. Hot as heck, blacktop all the way, and barely any clouds in the sky. I'm very happy with the training results today being that it's the last day I can push myself before the race Saturday because I'm tapering off my workouts. Tomorrow will be a nice, easy day with some simple jogging and walking.

Then Saturday it's on!

Tree Roots

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!
