My Friday was wonderful, because it involved lots of running. There were also lots of yummy sushi involved.
After classes, I went for a nice 7.1 mile run at a 9:46/mile pace. It was pretty uneventful. I didn't want to tire my legs out too much before my long run tomorrow, but I wanted to get some quality mileage in.
Then I finally held a minute Plank.

| I promise I actually did the plank. I realize that a screenshot of a stopwatch doesn't prove anything. |
I thought that was going to be it for the day. I mean, a minute Plank and a 7 miler is more than I could have hoped to accomplish.
But then the bf said that he was going for a four miler at night. And I couldn't pass up a chance to go for a super easy run of 4 miles at 10:45/mile. So I threw all caution of overtraining to the wind and went running again.
 |
| In a super bright outfit so that cars would see me. |
Even though my legs are sore and I might have to move my long run to Sunday, I'm ecstatic that I went.
We made it sort of an adventure run.
 |
| We jumped some fences to get to a part of a trail along the lake. * Aside - I think Stefan has a real career in butt modeling* |
We soon found out why portion of the trail was closed. It wasn't that the trails weren't maintained, it was that they were working on the steps and it was missing a flight.
 |
| Who does that? Why would you take out a section of stairs? |
And because we only had my phone, I got a super weird blurry photo jumping down.
 |
| Pink ghost will haunt you if you don't get your run in. |
I hope your Friday was as full of running as mine was! Good luck on your runs during the weekend! Feel free to admonish me for running too much, I sort of deserve it. Do you ever do a workout, knowing that resting will probably do you more good?
