I’ve got 2 legs, therefore I run. Not fast, not far, but I get it done.

Did some exploring of the backcountry trails at @manassasnps today. In the 90°+ heat, the shade of the forest action felt really nice. I even kept up a good pace for about an hour, until I ran out of gas. Glad I got out here though. This is still my favorite spot for #trailrunning in #northernvirginia. Caps off a hectic but productive week. #runblr #fitblr #summerrunning #nosweatliketrailsweat #keeprunning #keepshowingup (at Manassas National Battlefield Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEP3wCfnCID/?igshid=1pirg00p1aqb5

My sister and I just did our long run through a complete down pour sun shower and we felt like goddesses doing it so today was a win

ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTS

we enter a new phase of running 😎

way back in march (?) on a day i had a lot of time on my hands, i planned out my ideal running schedule that went until the first week of august. this “plan” increased my weekly running minutes by roughly 10% each week, and gradually increased my running from twice a week, to three times, to four times a week (where I will stay for the foreseeable future). although there were certainly bumps in the road i stayed remarkably consistent and honestly i am so impressed with myself!!!

if all goes to plan, i hope to start training for a half marathon in mid september (no time goals at all, just hoping to stay injury free and increase mileage), but that leaves me with a little over a month with nothing to do in between! and since i still consider myself injury prone and i kinda love having a plan, i am going to follow a month long training program designed to improve your one mile time! this helps me keep my mileage up but moderate, introduces some anaerobic work, but doesn’t strain my body too much in anticipation of the half marathon training.

so today i hit the track for day 0 (hehe) and a mile time trial. i don’t mean to sandbag at all, cause i’m actually happy with my time, but the night before i had 5 drinks (a lot for me (3 with vodka 🍸)) and ate a lot of wonky food, so i thought at one point i might throw up! but i didn’t :) clocked in at 8:10!! i’m pleased with this and think the only way to go is up.
