I kicked off this week local, which meant that I could join the Strava team for the workout! Marissa is a perfect fit for me and we are able to both push each other on the track. This week’s workout was really fun - basically mile repeats with the last 400m fast. Marissa and I were really able to unleash some speed that, quite frankly, I had no idea could be there at this point. We ran lots of 76/75s splits for the last 400, which was a ton of fun. I was really glad that I did this workout, even if it was so late in the evening and dark out.
After a really slow Medium long run the following day, I flew to LA in the evening to celebrate my sister’s birthday. It’s the 4th year in a row that I’ve been there for her birthday and I’d like to keep the tradition alive. I landed in orange county and we drove straight up to LA to get ready to go out to see a DJ my sister wanted to hear. Long story short, we were out until 3AM and I didn’t get to sleep until 330AM. Even though my sister is 8 years older than me, she can outlast me at any nightlife event, hands down. Fortunately, we spent all of Thursday recovering at the Korean Spa.
After returning on Saturday, I had already organized a giant crew for a long run on Sunday at Canada Road. We had about 8-9 people, and more women than men, which was a first!
