day 95

I am running in the 50 mile relay tonight on campus. I will most likely be running 3 legs of it for a total of 6 miles. The running shouldn't be bad, but I am hoping it doesn't get too cold out since we will be there till 2 or 3 am. I am in for a long night, especially with an exam tomorrow.

day 94

REST DAY! I can't even explain how excited I am that today is a rest day. I finished my last day of clinical today, will be studying and going to winter wonderland on campus tonight, and will hopefully fit in a very much needed 45 minute nap. I can feel that my muscles are a bit tight, so I will be stretching tonight as well. 50 mile relay tomorrow!

Day 93

Ran 3.5 miles today. Not a good day. Mentally could not run any further. Ready for this week to be over with. Good thing for a rest day tomorrow. I need to do something other than study and run. It is taking over my life...

day 92

3.5 mile run today in about 38 minutes. It was cold so my muscles seemed extra tight. It wasn't too bad of a run though. I did see an owl and 2 deer which was nice. I hadn't seen any wildlife on my runs in awhile. Now I am just going to stretch some more and make myself some chocolate milk before I shower and go back to sleep before studying for class.

day 91

I am back on track with following the training schedule, so today is a rest day following my long run yesterday. I really don't notice my legs being sore until I walk up or down stairs, but I will be stretching throughout the day and maybe relax my muscles in a warm bath later. The fact that I ran 8 miles last night, even though I stopped several times to stretch, is amazing to me. I can't believe I am definitely more than half way to running a half marathon. This is definitely a personal transformation for me.

day 90

Today I ran 8 miles in 1 hour and 27 minutes. This is a little bit slower of a pace than usual, but I ran with and talked to Jen the whole time. My legs were tired and felt like they did not want to move at all. I stopped to stretch several times, but the run seemed very very long.

day 89

Today was suppose to be crosstraining, but the gym closed early for the holiday weekend without me realizing it. Because I have an 8 mile run tomorrow, I didn't think I should run tonight, so I am just going to do some stretches, ab exercises, and some other exercises that I can do in my own apartment.
