Hey look! I got out of bed & ran 6 miles in the rain 👊🏻 Time for some push-ups!
So my half pretty much killed me and I'm not fully recovered three days later, but now I'm thinking I want to run two of them in a row in October 🙃
My knee has been acting up so I only went on a 2km run today. I am starting to get a little behind in km done in march, so if my knee can handle it I think I am gonna run three time this week 🌱
Lovely, fantastic 10 mile long run today to cap off my highest mileage week yet (post-injury, that is)! Kept the pace real easy and felt strong the whole way through. I’m ready to crush this 10 mile race in two weeks!
W10D7 - 20km race day Devoured my power-pre-race breakfast topped with loads of almond butter before getting to my beautiful race. It was perfect: 20km in the brightest sunshine with two killer hills. Yaaaassss. That's why I love running. I even met a guy that ran my last marathon with me. Annnnnd: Running my last Kilometer there was a guy screaming at me: "You're the second woman!" and I was like "Whaaaaaat?" Holy moly. What a day. I think I'm marathon ready.
Cherry Blossom 10-Miler complete! And I beat my 10 mile time from last year by almost 6 minutes. The course was beautiful, flat, and pretty speedy, but insanely crowded. I thought after the first three or four miles it would thin out some, but it really never did, so the first few miles were slower than I wanted, and we did a lot of weaving around people. But we ran negative splits the entire way, and the last three miles were all sub-10 minutes, ending on a 9:25 mile. And the weather held up/ it was cooooold this morning, but after the first few miles it warmed up and was in the 50s. So I am feeling pretty great! Then my running/teaching buddy and I had lunch at Silver Diner and it was so, so good. 😍
Run streak day: 56
Miles for the year: 251.24
4 beautiful morning miles done!!!
Now its time for my favorite place, the grocery store!!!
Happy running everyone!
I call this one: “Pissed off at West Lake”
WARNING: whinging ahead
THIS FUCKIN WEEKEND HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST SHITPILE TURDBURGER OF ALL THE WEEKENDS
Listen up on Saturday me and my friend decided to drive to Perfume Pagoda for the day. At a junction on the way, a motorcyclist driving up the WRONG SIDE of the road I repeat WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD swerved to avoid me (right side of the road) despite being far enough away to have driven around me, and fell off his bike. Within minutes we were surrounded by shouty Vietnamese men demanding we give the other man money despite not actually seeing the crash - they just assumed we were the dickheads in the situation and totally jumped on us. I gave him a bit of money and me and my friend drove off in tears, only to pull over a few seconds later to realise THE FUCKERS HAD FUCKING STOLEN MY PHONE OUT OF ITS HOLDER ON THE BIKE FML FML FML FML so we turned round and drove home oh did I mention we were 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE PAGODA WE WERE SO FUCKING CLOSE
And then today, TODAY you ain’t gonna believe this the fucking frame that holds the water tank COLLAPSED so the tank fell over and emptied its entire contents down the side of the house into the neighbours garden BRILLIANT and that couldn’t be fixed today so we just have dirty fucking brown water coming out of the taps which was awesome when i got back from my run earlier cos all you want is A STINKY SHOWER
AND OH THAT RUN I MENTIONED DID I MENTION it was the worst run of my LIFE four km of hell my legs were like stones and I had to have a walking break in between each kilometre i mean come on
So now I’m going to bed because good god I just want this fucking weekend to be done i am OUT
P.S. nice views for my warm-up i have added for your enjoyment
