finally, full log from today! stomach alot better but still has some issues going on - but considerably better. legs feel great. knee feels fine. all soreness gone.
funny how wrecked my week got, but potentially rebounding out of it perfectly come “race day” tomorrow.
late signup for a 5k tmw (03/18/2018). Goal is to really push it crazy hard the first few miles. Push the limits practice.
pre-race workout.
stomach improved considerably since yesterday, but still jacked up. cramped at the end of my run … usually a bad sign … so hoping it’s nothing tomorrow.
one sign it’s jacked: oatmeal in the morning made it “even more hungry”, had a hungry/rumbling feeling.
last night before bed it was bloated af.
legs felt amazing though… hopefully they feel as good or better tomorrow.

my first ever race on grass tomorrow! actually excited about it… love running on grass.
if i feel good, just going to drop teh hammer early. need to practice going out a bit harder & then hanging on. Plus i’ll feel Kenyan on grass soooo, should be good.
wanted to test my legs just a little bit before tomorrow… wanted the confidence knowing they would be ok. mission accomplished. now, just hoping i didn’t aggravate anything. feel pretty good though so, hopefully everything is on the right track.
