Warmups, form mile, then 2 miles warmup and strides. Redshirts workout was 10x300s. The first few felt weird, like I had forgotten what it felt like to go fast. Unfortunately after a few it wasn't so fun anymore, it was definitely a shock to get going again. Times went 53, 54, 55, 60, 62, 61, 60, 62, 60, 61, averaging out at 58. Obviously my speed is lacking because I've been doing the 5k group's workouts, but it felt good to open up the stride again. Cooled down to 7.

I hurt all over. Sore from yesterday and my hamstrings were bugging. Cramps. Just a sucky day for running. Ran with Kacey and Ashley and Maddy followed us on a bike :)

Apparently practice was on our own today, but none of us got the memo :) We did Razorbacks. I just relaxed and enjoyed the run, my legs are still a bit sore. Once we got to the trail I went up a little and my hammy wasn't feeling it so I came back down and continued along the road up the canyon (gradual uphill hurt less than the steeper hills on Razorbacks) and took Canyon run trail back to the track.

Have 2 tests tomorrow and 2 huge assignments coming up, it's a stressful time. Next week is dead week and the week after that finals week. You know it's real when you have to skip the Jungle Book premier. Cut my run short, 4 miles.

6 miles, out and back on Cross Hollows. Wind was very strong today, I was almost blown off the path a few times.

Motivation to run is very low right now, the fact that I'm going to be out of shape for 18 months has me a little less excited to be working hard. After all, it's all going to waste. I have senioritis all over again, this time with running.

What got me out the door today was the crazy statistic Ashley learned in class (she's majoring in exercise science): if you go 6 days without doing cardio exercises you lose 60% of your cardio, but if you go 30 days without working out your muscles you only lose 7% of your muscle mass. Runners are screwed.

I feel bad because I should want to run all I can before I go on my mission, take advantage of the time I have to workout before I get limited to a half hour a day. But like I said before, I won't get a pay off for any hard work I put in right now. So on days like yesterday when it turned back into winter I lose the desire to run. #sorry
