- Pre-run thoughts:
- I ate a bagel with jelly, and I'm feeling pretty good. I slept well, and I feel ready to workout. I'm wearing the Adios Pro 3 for this uptempo to help me recover better.
- How fast did you go: about 7:00 per mile on warm up and cooldown, 5:26 per mile on uptempo
- How far did you run: 2 mile WU, 9 mile uptempo, 1 mile CD
- Specifics: uptempo workout
- Post-run thoughts:
- I felt really good today! We were a little chaotic as a group at points but we figured it out and ran together well. I ran at the front for most of the workout when I normally stay towards the back on uptempos. Ryo didn't know we should stay together on this workout even if you feel good, so I tried to tell him that, but I struggled to communicate with him well. It worked out in the end though. I felt much better than last week, especially compared to cutting down the pace at the end of the workout. I'm feeling really fit and excited to race!
- Nutrition and recovery after: We had weights after, then I grabbed a snack and protein shake before going out to breakfast for Cale's birthday! Had a good breakfast with eggs, bacon, and pancakes. After that I got ready for class then had my DEXA scan and grabbed a quick lunch from the fueling station.
- End of day reflection:
- Today was solid. Class was pretty good, then I went home and finished The Laundromat movie then fell asleep for a little bit. Then I went to Hyvee with Quenton to load up on groceries, and we heated up the stromboli that Christopher's mom made us. Then I played Settlers of Catan with Isaac and Christopher, which was fun, but I got crushed and Christopher won.
