This was suppose to progress the opposite way :upside_down_face: I felt really strong the first 5-6 miles. Not so much the last 3 but I got it done and it will be a building block. This run got me to 100k ran for the month!

You probably know this, but Runna will track it for you. Kind of handy. Although, I have gone back to little slips of paper by each pair that I update. Why? Because I’m a bit of a freak that needs to capture every moment in my shoes :grin:

5K Sunday- I started out with easy run mentality and to just not take walk breaks and then by mile 3 I was just in it. Plus I had to get it done before the sun came up cause we are under a heat advisory- High of 103F :hot_face: You will find me inside for the rest of the day

@Gorden I just found the add shoes part of Runna a few days ago :woman_facepalming:t2: I normally just wear my shoes for 6 months to a year. Most of the time I can feel when I need a new pair

Today was a good running day. I was going for an easy run and did 5mi. Rest day yesterday and good sleep helped. I even hit an OTF class after.

Glad my stamina didn’t drop after two weeks off. Not the best, but I was expecting worse.

I guess we all ran today :face_with_hand_over_mouth: Mine was not great- I started before the sun came up and it was already hot. There were 18!!! intervals all together. I found the .12 intervals very hard. Runna suggested changing my pacing goals and so I did. It makes the next few interval/tempo runs look much more manageable/slower. I only have a week and a half left in this plan and then I take some time off and start my half marathon plan next month.

Interval runs in general are supposed to help with getting faster. Runna is always doing different interval runs. I think to keep it interesting but this was a little too interesting lol

Since Runna changed my pacing goals this was pretty easy but I had to throw walk breaks into the run to keep the pace closer to the goal.

On a different note- I’m really struggling with comparison :pensive_face: Running has always been hard for me. I enjoy the feeling of completing a run but it’s not something that is easy. The hubs has been running for less than a year and has already smashed through doing a 5k in under 30 mins and is on the verge of doing a 10k in under an hour. All these years I’ve been running I’ve never hit the goal of sub 30 5k. I got close a few years ago. I know it’s jealousy and it’s not good for my mental but I am having a hard time just celebrating him without wishing it was that easy for me. I hate that we now have running as a common hobby but that it’s bringing out jealousy and envy in me. I even had the thought of stopping running this morning.
