Last week was an interesting week on the running front. I ran 10.5 of the hilliest miles in the area. Part way through, I found I needed the bathroom. Unfortunately, I’d chosen to run in an area lacking in public bathrooms. After miles of discomfort, I hit the bathroom at the public library and was a much happier camper. The remaining miles this week were good. I had one awesome 5 miler with an average pace in the 9’s and a 7 miler today that was fine even though my brain wanted me to quit. In addition, I hit my usual yoga class for an hour of hot yoga. Unfortunately for my legs, she opted to focus on the lower body that day. Between the 7 mile run and the class, I was afraid I was going to need someone to push the clutch on my car for me the next day LOL.
All in all, things are right on track for the 5 halves and I’m doing good with the HBBC (even eating my vegetables and fruits the majority of the days.)

Those toilet runs are the worst. And so are leg-obsessed yoga trainers.
I’ve had a few of those runs. Not the best feeling.
