Family 5k this morning. @artiejohann and @gloriabelljohann got 1st in the stroller division! I ran a little slower than I’d hoped and fell to 4th OA in the last quarter mile 🙄. Then a bike ride for me and now it’s couch and Coco for all, guilt free. #runningsucks #teamwattieink #teamstroller #thefamilywhorunstogether #watchestvtogether (at Brentwood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoXUw61lte7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9wa1g89qd5ab

Running is horrible

At least sometimes.  Like today.  I think I need to follow my own advice - the best thing about a bad run is the next one is usually awesome.  Saturday better be great.

I was meant to do 1 mile slow, 1 mile fast, 2 minutes recovery, 1 mile fast, 2 minutes recovery, 1 mile fast, 1 mile slow.  I did 1 mile slow, 1 mile fast, 2 minutes recovery, and about half a mile fast before my gut and my legs betrayed me.  I don’t understand how I can do 15km on Sunday and 8km on Tuesday and burn out after 3.5km today.  Maybe my “fast” effort was too fast?  I tried to keep going after I did a bit of stretching, and made it another 1.3km before I had to stop.  Stupid sport.

I decided I need to stretch more/better so I did some yoga tonight (thank you @yaboymillhoy - check out his yoga/stretching/recovery videos at https://www.youtube.com/user/yaboymillhoy), and I’ll hit up the gym tomorrow for the usual Friday morning Pilates class.  I’ve resolved to work on body strength a bit, so I’m going to start doing 3 gym sessions a week - pump (which is apparently a strength and conditioning thing?) on a Monday, pump or bodyweight suspension on a Wednesday, and Pilates on a Friday.  Everybody I know who’s any good at running has a reasonable strength regime, but then it seems like the elites don’t focus as much on strength.  I don’t know.  Confused.  I’ll give it a try and see what happens I guess.  Worst case I stop doing it.  Best case it helps my running :)

Ow. Combination of jogging and rapid walking. Working up jogging at least 1.6 miles (4 round trip laps of my driveway). It would help if my right calf didn't cramp up like whoa on the return half of the 2nd lap. #nofilter #exercise #blackbeltpreparation #runningsucks #igotthis #mycalveshateme #dantesspirit (at Dante's Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mpA42p7NE/?igshid=qfqtpgf2xo2o
