Friday Run

60 min Run, no garmin
  • I swam 1400 yards Friday instead of running.  It was a busy day for me and a bad day emotionally for me.  I had two dr. appointments, Jason left for India and was totally overwhelmed with life. I spent the night at my moms and slept on about 3 hours.  (Just making note of the day for myself)



Sat- off
  • 5K - Run for the Son, FBJ  23:52  1 minute off my 5K PR from 2013  I am a terrible pacer at 5Ks which bites me in the butt the last mile.  Overall I felt good.  The only thing I noticed was a little tightness in my right shin.  I think that is stemming from my overcompensating on RFE split squats and utilizing my right leg to compensate for my left leg weakness.  This week I made note that those were better but I think I was still sore therefore I felt it in the 5K. 
  • Brought home the overall Masters Female award....AKA Old Lady runner
  • 30 minute run upon returning home from 5k just to get time in.  Felt great




Sun-  Run
30 min Run no garmin (7:30am)
