I am absolutely pumped to be in full swing of workouts yet again. Today was 3x 3-2-1 fartlek with 2 min. rest between each on a nice grass field. Got to throw on some spikes for the last set which was good. I was in control and feeling strong, not killing myself and visiting bonk city (my name for where you go when you bomb a workout at altitude). My form is also starting to round into shape, my hips are forward, fairy leg practically eliminated, relaxed arm carriage, and forward body.
Blood said that he wouldn't have guessed it was me running by my form. Which is a good thing, cause I was never a pretty runner. Except for that one time that I was the prettiest girl in the PSAC.
I'm getting really pumped for my next race. I can just feel how much more fit I am compared to a month ago, and really can't wait to test it out. But, gotta take it one week and one workout at a time. Got an 8 mile progression run on friday down at 4000 feet, which should be a good indicator of fitness going into this 10k on the 4th.
In other exciting new, I GOT MY FIRST PARKING TICKET. eff. 33 bucks. I solemnly swear to pay it within 15 days so as to prevent any raise in cost or subsequent parking ticket fiascos.
Congrats to the Haven runners for their performances at PSACs this past weekend. Especially Monny for his 2nd PSAC xc title and Dylan Mountain for his all-psac and top freshman performance! Solid work.
21 miles on sunday on the most gorgeous run i've ever experienced. I can't say that i've ever been this pumped to run that far for a long run. Should be good.
BLOOD UPDATE: Ryan is back running almost 40 miles a week and is slowly getting there. He was allowed to do a 3 mile hill climb on Friday and in true Blood form, he crushed it. He said it was easy. Hoping for maybe a turkey day 5k as his first race. Cross your fingers, we all want to see this guy back in crusher form.
Thanks again for the support, we miss all our family and friends from back east!
Much Love,
Nick: The Moderately Talented Distance Runner
