Overall anaylsis:

This was a great run near the mouth of AF canyon. I didn't perform as well as I would have liked to, however I still enjoyed it. The mixture of heat and uphill switchbacks really got to me (according to strava some of them were graded above 20%) which made for a really slow run. By the end my muscles and lungs were pretty beat so I went and layed in the river for a while before driving home. On the flip side no concerning aches or pains. Still riding that pain free high!!

Running thoughts:

Today was a bad running day. I know that it was hot and had some big hills, but I still expected more from myself. I will definetly be cominig back to log some better stats. The river afterwards felt amazing though. I think I'm going to make ice baths a regular thing. I've been reading up on the positive effects cold plunges can have on your body and it seems pretty appealing.

Overall analysis:

I think my legs are finally healing. Was able to run pain and ache free!! Felt good all the way through, I just need to get used to the heat. Was feeling some slight tightness in the shins driving home so I'll have to watch that and stretch it out. Other than that, I'm feeling really hopeful.

Running thoughts:

I gotta get used to the heat. I'm not sure why I struggle with it so much, but I'm hoping that as I continue to run I'll get more used to it. It may be time to cut the hair to help get some extra ventilation.

Overall anaylsis:

Body is spent. I was aerating all day and was able to fit this run in during my break, so everything was already tired. I was able to push through however and get in a quick 3 before going back to aerating. Legs and lungs where tired, but feeling stronger.

Running thoughts:

I can feel myself getting stronger and stronger every day and it's making my excited. I need to remind myself to keep it controlled so I don't undo any of my healing, but all I want to do is run. I can't wait until I can run longer miles.
