Jan. 24 - Jan. 28

Haven’t updated this in a while, been pretty busy with school work!

I took it real easy this week in preparation for the 15k today at Newnan’s Lake. I did 3 miles on Tuesday and 3.5 miles on Thursday. I read that it’s good to reduce mileage before a long race, and it’s so true! The race today went really well!

I’m REALLY happy with my 9:17 pace! I was shooting for 10:00, but I just couldn’t seem to get down to that slow. 

Now, I really think I ran closer to 9:05, but miles 6-9.2 were slowed down because…

*TMI WARNING*

I HAD TO POOP SO FUCKING BAD. 

It basically ruined the whole race! I was in so much pain and really thought I was going to shit myself! I was actually looking left and right for places in the woods I could go, I’m not lying. I had to walk for about half a mile (from 8 to 8.5) because I just couldn’t take the up and down bouncing motion anymore! Lesson learned, that’s for sure.

ANYWAY, besides that whole issue, my running went great, as I said. Didn’t feel a thing in my legs, kind of wondering if I should have run even faster. Oh well, I’m happy either way with that time!
