Chasing PR's with the dedication of a monk; and appreciating every moment pursuing a DREAM while trying to stay injury-free, but at the same time, fully realizing the impracticality of it all happening the way I truly want it to.

Catching Up
April 15th: Ran 6mi.-(46:54) at 7:32pm. I've been feeling unmotivated lately. This is me catching up on my blog though so that's progress!
April 16th: Went to a GSRT track workout at 5:15pm. (1mi. wu, strides + drills, 1x1600-5:30, 4x400-77, 80, 79, and 72, 2x200-NT, 2mi. cd)---7mi. total

April 27th: Ran around the Coe-Brown loop a few times for 3mi. while watching the events. There was some great competition out there today! Seth PR'd in the mile with a 5:18 and nailed 4th place in his heat! :)
April 28th: Muddy Moose "14"-Miler-(I got 13.5mi. on my GPS watch, 1.5mi. wu-12:40, no cd)---15mi. total for the day. I felt so drained after this race. It's definitely the toughest race that I've done in my life so far. It took everything I had to keep my legs moving in the last few miles. I should have brought some kind of energy food with me and a water bottle. I stopped at a couple water stations on the way back at 9mi. and then 11mi. in. I think I was just really dehydrated and my body shut down. I felt better after getting some food down and taking a nap.
