I've had pretty decent running since last week. Thursday i went on my staple 47 minute hill run during lunch after taking Wednesday off. Legs were tired but i held a strong pace throughout. Friday i went for an easy hour around my house trying to find avenues to explore so that i could turn my run into a complete loop as opposed to many mini out-and-backs. It wasn't very successful.
That night marked an epic get-together for my friend in the Army who goes back to Iraq this week. Filled with merry laughs from all of our high school and college friends of old, plenty of beer, and plenty of competitive drinking games, we celebrated in the true fashion that is called for when all of these people are together. While i didn't quite train like an animal on Saturday and instead just epically napped, i most certainly did drink beers.
Sunday i went back to my parents and did almost the same loop i did last week for my long run, running a total of 1hr and 35 mins. Apparently the weather isn't changing quite as quickly as i imagined last post because it was bloody humid out! While i didn't feel quite as ecstatic and inspired after the run as i did last week, I still kept a solid pace throughout the run and finished strong. So although i felt more tired and run down, i believe it was a better effort than the previous long run and that i'm getting stronger. Monday was a follow up chest and back lifting day for lunch plus an easy 3 miles after work on very tired legs. I was initially planning for 30 minutes but i was running by my house feeling very run down and figured that any more would do more harm than help for recovery and today's run.
