- Pre-run thoughts:
- Woke up at 5 for practice at 6. Stretched a bit cause I'm still super sore, then I got ready and ate some grapes and a muffin before walking to practice with Quenton. I had to fill out a couple forms before we bussed out for the run.
Going for the second run after lunch so hopefully my stomach feels good. It's hot but I'm not running too far so it shouldn't be too bad. Got to talk to Zach a bit so that was nice since I haven't seen him this summer.
- How fast did you go: 6:45 per mile, Pt. 2: 7:17 per mile
- How far did you run: 10 miles, Pt. 2: 4 miles
- Specifics: First run, planning on hitting another one after lunch, second run to hit weekly mileage
- Post-run thoughts:
- Felt way better than yesterday, and it was super fun to run with the fellas again. I'm still pretty sore, but I think I'll get better soon. We went to scenic, the classic first practice run, and it was pretty nice other than some hills.
Not too bad, just chilled out and got my stuff done. Went on the soccer field so it was a super soft surface to run on.
- Nutrition and recovery after: We had weights after, but they were pretty light with a lot of stretching which I needed. Grabbed a snack at the fueling station then went to team breakfast at the DeBruce center. Had a snack after the second one and saw Matt the nutritionist before heading to Clinton Lake for a team cookout.
- End of day reflection:
- It was a fun day! Super busy but super exciting to have the first practice and get to work with the new team! Everything was really fun, and the cookout was nice so we could all hang out and get to know the new kids better. Ate a ton of hot dogs to show Twos Joe that I could do more than him, but now I'm suffering before bed and praying that I don't feel miserable all day tomorrow.
