Drove 20 minutes out to Sandy Rd, and it was completely flooded. Drove back and ran a few miles on the fields, which were drenched as well. Decided to do a kilometer faster just to see what I could do when I'm not fit and running in bad conditions. Managed to get under 3:00, but it about killed me. I was on 2:4x pace for the first half or so and because of that the last 200m were a death march. Still happy with it, and surprised I didn't fall during it. Time to study for 6 hours

Noon - 2.5 miles warmup, 2.5 miles @5:59 pace w/ a 5:21 mile in there, 1 mile CD. That 5:21 hurt. I really drove to see what I could run and my arms are currently super sore from lactic acid and such. Nice run. Not gonna do another workout for a couple weeks, this was just me hitting a 6:38 mile pretty easily and then seeing what I could do.

3 miles easy later. First double in a long time.

Straight engineering classes from 8AM-7PM including a midterm in materials, save a break from 3:30-5 in which I drove Olivia home, came home, changed, ran 8 miles with the last one in 5:55, changed again, and came back for my statics review. Very productive day but very draining as well so I'm happy I could go sub 6 today, didn't start putting in sub-6 minute effort until halfway through the mile, so more like a half mile in 3:15 and a half mile in 2:40.

7 miles working down from 6:50’s to 6:10’s. debating whether i should even bother tracking pace until i’m up to 120 miles a week. i think it’s better in respect to staying healthy to not try to push a pace AND increase mileage, so i’ll probably stop doing that for the next 7 weeks.

Studied all day for my statics midterm, did a LOT better than I thought I would. Ran afterward and a quarter of a mile in it felt like I'd been shot in the back. I almost fell onto the cement but caught myself, and hunched over for a couple minutes, but the pain didn't go away that much. Did something dumb and kept running to see how it faired but surprisingly it faded. Def still hurts to move/breathe too deeply now that I'm typing this though. Maybe I tweaked my back. Maybe it's from running on the pavement yesterday when I normally do soft surfaces only.
