Notes

Another typical Wednesday which meant I only had a small window of time to run today and that was early in the morning. Mid distance was doing speed on the track but long distance was doing a long run so decided to do that to get some good mileage for the day. Did the typical warmup loop past my apartment but then split off with the long run guys once we hit Indian Trail. Legs felt a bit better at the start but once we hit the Mid-County trail I began to feel like shit again lol. Ran with Taves for the most part since he was going the longest so different people picked it up at different times based on how long they were going. They had a 25 minute tempo to do in the middle so once we hit the Gilman Taves and I picked it up. There was some light snow on the path which made for some slick parts but it wasn't anything terrible. Pretty much held the exact same pace for each mile and ran the tempo @ 5:48 pace. Again, aerobically this was fine but my legs just continued to feel worse and worse the longer I went. Stopped the tempo right at the top of the hill on Randall/Prairie and then jogged it in back to the Vaghaun Center. Taves turned right for some more mileage because I was going to call it but then I added on once I got back because I felt better the last 5 minutes than I did the entire run...what a weird day. Hopefully my legs bounce back to normal soon because this sucks haha, but it's the runner life I suppose! Glad I at least went and did long run today even if it wasn't super long.
