#just runner things

I think my biggest flex in the last year of my life has been the mentality of "I don't want to look that way anymore"....

So I don't. The body I'm creating for myself is mine and mine alone now. How liberating is that?

I'm sorry… what does that even mean?

Whoa, Hal Higdon has changed his website since the last time I was on there.

When I got to Not Crossfit last night, the last class was finishing up and I heard our instructor say “Don’t forget to stretch, you did a long run today.” People leaving class were grumbling about being on the treadmills for too long. Never have I felt more like a fish out of water than when I found out this “long run” was 7 minutes. NOW if that is your long run, you should absolutely be on your own journey and that’s totally fine with me. However, I was hoping for more like 5... miles (which we would never actually do in this class). 

Taking a week off from class was not ideal and I struggled to put all the pieces together. Except for the run, that went great!

I know this is so dumb - straight up illogical, even--

but i am lowkey mad at everyone sharing how well they did at the marathon today when my partner had to medical dnf. like, I'm just sad for him, cause he worked so hard. and of course i'm not REALLY upset at everyone who had a great race! but spiritually, emotionally, I am, just a little.

Lessons Relearned

Don't run long distances in lacy unders unless you want a chaffed butt crack. #justrunnerthings

Hill sprints followed by several sets of lying on the floor

Shoes

Oh God, this is embarrassing - so the year that Brooks discontinued my favourite model of running shoes (and totally fucked up the toebox and the weight on its new edition, not that I’m still bitter about it) I panicked and bought every pair of the shoe that I could find in my size online.

I bought 20 pairs of the same fucking running shoe.  I’m down to my last two for summer training and have no idea what I’m going to do once I’ve worn them out XD

Send me a word and I’ll share a memory about it!
