AM - 6:45 this morning. I was in recovery mode this run. I did the SUU loop. Ended up being 28 minutes which is a few more than I was really looking for. Slow pace 8min+. It was necessary. I'm getting my new shoes today, so hopefully that will motivate me to get my run done a little sooner than I have the last few days. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to get past Wednesday knowing I'm over halfway done with the work week.
PM - I really enjoyed work today. The guy I've been working closely with the last few days brought in chocolate cake Dunford Bakery donuts. 4 of them. Just for me. I ate 3 and gave one to my mom. That's a lot of deliciousness in one work day.
I got home, got on my sick new Newtons, or NEWtons as they will be referred to, and set out for an easy 75 minute run on the full trail system. The lacing system was a bit of an issue that I still haven't quite figured out. Reconciling the loose heel and the pressure of the top of my foot was tough. It was weird to run on those awkward lugs, but I adjusted. I've holding true to my no unnecessary break rule, I didn't even stop at the top of the canyon trail. I'm so proud of myself :') small victories, eh. My splits were strongly right (positive) skewed with a mode of mile splits in the 7:00-7:10 range. Data are cool.
Gradual hills are my very worst enemy right now. I'm just very collectively fatigued and those just take it out of me. I need to work on that.
