Notes
Went to practice after a VERY long day at school, and didn't get any running in at practice either.
It took just about all my mental fortitude to get this one done, all alone, starting at about 5:30 on a Friday after a long week. Anders really helped my motivation by texting me just as practice was ending and offering/suggesting that I could pick any route, run home from practice, and then we could pick up my car later. The timing was perfect and it was just the helpful change from the daily routine that I needed. I left my car, and was able to concoct a new and unique route home. Plus, its fun to explore running routes to and from our house right now, so that was an added bonus as well.
The run got really long, and was REALLY hot (~90 degrees and high humidity), but I was so proud of have it done. I got home around 6:30pm, showered, cooled off, and then Anders and I met Marit Sonnesyn and Nick Ross for dinner out afterwards. It felt great going to bed knowing that I had accomplished what I needed to on a Friday.
I ran in my Hokas, and they felt good, but also clunky. I think the legs were just really trashed today in general.
