Two back to back hilly run days! Starting to build back up my miles a bit this week. Went on a very warm run (90f) yesterday, should have brought a water bottle.. Mouth was very dry! Thankfully it had some shade since it was a trail run! I enjoy mixing between trails and pavement running! Happy weekend everyone 😊

Update

Hey guys! I know I’ve been really absent since I sprained my ankle. The truth is, I still haven’t been cleared to run. I get to try running this Friday at my physical therapists office, and I’m nervous but super excited. I can’t wait to get back on the roads. 

Since I can’t run right now, I’ve really let my eating and exercise habits go, which is frustrating. I ride the stationery bike once a week but that’s it. I want to change that, so I’m going to do some grocery shopping this week for healthier foods and hopefully I’ll either be back to running or I’ll get my ass in the gym more. 

Anyway, this has been a rambling update.

Hot, humid, sweaty progressive run tonight with my running group! Plus lots and lots of hills, which was a big part of these pacing issues- this was way slower than I wanted it to be. I'm so sweaty and gross, and I wasn't sure I was going to make that last mile, but I'm glad I did! This was one of those plug in the headphones and run the stress out days- between family drama and standardized testing, I'm tapped out. Came home and got grouched at by my father in law, and now I am 110% done with today. May: 46/60 2016: 226 miles I definitely didn't hit the mileage that I wanted for May, but we also had exceptionally awful weather, and I didn't have any really long runs since I'm not training for anything. I would have liked to have hit at least 50 miles this month, but I'm not motivated enough to go back out in the humidity. Oh well.

Shout out to this song for being the exact right rhythm to run to. Seriously, I’m going to go home and download every single version of it I can find.

Have been running and hiked up Mission Peak. Focusing most of my time on dissertation and relocating to Hawaii. Lots to plan.! My runs have therefore been a tad shorter then I would like, not helped by this nasty cold/flue I was battling through last month! Yuck! This has been one of my sickest years ever, and I took the flue shot! (Go figure!) Today was my usual Tuesday weights, running, and stretches!

Two windy, warm - approaching hot - miles at a sub 11 pace! Definitely the fastest I’ve ever run two miles. Huge shout out to my phone for playing the right songs at the right time, especially Eminem “’Till I Collapse” right when I was thinking I was done. But who could possibly quit, or even walk, when a song starts with:

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired, Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.
