I had a really fun route (one of my all time favorites). I did my "run 5 walk 2" interval again, although I'm thinking anything around 10 miles or less I should just start running outright. (Bah! Why work so hard?) I did skip the walking intervals on the "down" part of the Ft Snelling trail. I meant to run up that b!tch of a hill too, but there were so many people on it that I just lost my mind. I couldn't concentrate and it was time for a walk break anyways.
Most of the run I felt like I was going to die. Next time: yogurt first. Eggs and bacon after.
To my clothes: I totally should've listened to the Qat Lady's wardrobe advice. I was way overdressed and hot. I wound up wearing pants, wool socks, t-shirt, fleece windproof vest, nothing on my arms, hands or head which was fine. I'd started out with a long sleeve shirt too but I took that off pretty quickly. Thank goodness the Cambelbak had room for it.
To my hamstrings: Oh my gosh! I am so sorry for whatever torture I've put you through this week. We've never talked like that on a run before. Ever. And I'll try to make it up to you by not doing any hip bridges or any other stupid things this week. Seriously. My bad. (PS - the guy in the video has his stationary foot waaay too close to his body. Bad form.)
Soundtrack for the run:
- Joss Stone - Super Duper Love was playing as I was sucking wind up one of the last hills of the day. If I ever get married, this is the song I want to dance to at my wedding.
- AC DC - Hard As a Rock played somewhere along the Minnehaha/Ft Snelling trail and it made me fly!
- Thousand Foot Crutch - Move also made me move my butt.
- Miss Daja Feat Nicki Minaj - Mean Walk. I have no idea what it is about this song; I love it.
- Guru Josh Project - Infinity. Take your time! This was one of the first songs that played today I think.
