Yeet yeet boyz, a 10k AND average mile pace PR today?? God, it must be Christmas! Today was slow and boring because a friend blew me off (again), and i had woken up hella early to see her. I stayed in the house, bored out of my mind, waiting for her to text back but she never did. So i went for a run that ended up being just a really solid run. I got a half mile in and thought “wow, running feel so right, like it’s something i am meant to do.” I have not run any faster than a nine minute mile in weeks, so pounding out an 8:35 average (for a whole six miles nonetheless!!) was so refreshing. I felt so fast and free and strong. I am so grateful that my body can do what it does. I am so thankful i have the privilege of an able body to let me run everyday. Running has shown me more than anything what incredible things can happen if i just take care of myself 🎉🦅🏃🏼

Middle run

So I learned from my mistakes and got into the correct place in track. I actually talked to the coach of my group and she was very helpful. (I was in total pain from yesterday's sprinter workout, so she let me do two miles for a beginner) I am feeling better about this one. I just might stay in track. (Though I am not that competitive...) I feel better about this one. Though, I do miss my every other day 5k jog.

Running update.

There is something going on with my knee as well (a small ache but hopefully it will go away soon). I found out why my ankle has been getting messed up recently. It is because of my shoes, apparently I run weird so my Nike shoes actually mess up my ankles for being flexible or somthing like that. On Saturday I was supposed to go to a race but I think I should go shopping and have a expert tell me what I should be wearing for a shoe (I am thinking a nice pair of brooks would be great! Though I wouldn't mind having some advice from anyone.) Also, just joined a track team so I am stepping out of my comfort zone slightly. I have finally put together a chart on my calendar for a 8k run with all that time I had off from the injury, so something good came out of that. This is just a small update of what has been happening! It is late, so I would love to get some sleep. Goodnight.
