July 4th/6th


July 4th:

I ran the "Macklind Mile" with my dad. It's an all downhill run for 1 mile. They give you a chip so you know how fast you ran. I was hoping for under 12 min and managed to complete it in 11:02! I finished 226 out of 251 women. Not back for only starting a couple months ago!

July 6th:

I ran down to my mom in the nursing home. According to iMapmyrun, it was 1.20 miles. The way there was completed in ~18 min and the way back to my apartment was ~20 min. I ran most of the way there too! I felt great! Until the way back. My silly calves (medial soleus muscles bilaterally, I'm fairly sure) are absolutely dieing! They were still a little sore from the run on Saturday, but I just tore them up going uphill and pounding on them on the downhill. So, I soaked them in Biofreeze and put on some ice packs. Hopefully they will be better soon!!


Miscellaneous update:

The hydration pack that I exchanged worked wonderful tonight! It takes a little getting used to but once your get you pace, it fits nicely! I love having water whenever I need it! Also, the bake sale raised over $209!!! That was absolutely incredible! Thanks again to everyone that brought baked goods and/or helped out in any way and to everyone that supported the LLS by buying or donating that day! (In no particular order, a super big thanks to: Jenny, Jenny, Kristen, Abby, Michael, Andrea, Hannah, Brad, Ali, & Angela!)

So much to do in so little time! Thanks for reading!!
