Finally all done and laid out on a king size bed for reference.
Handwashing and drying this was miserable and may have involved a dehumidifier 😅

Made the mistake of being nosy and checking out a neighborhood a normally run through on Zillow and now I just feel exceptionally poor 🙃

22 seconds from a 5k PR with my lunchtime run. I’m blaming these hills 😒

Not the Taylor Swift store asking me to solve a captcha by identifying bridges to checkout 💀😭

This was also a trial for new shoes that I think I’ll be keeping in rotation pending my feet feeling okay tomorrow

Forgot my breathe right strip and couldn’t nose breathe AT ALL 😭 Worst run ever as far as my experience goes but still had the best stats ever so yeehaw or whatever ✌🏼🥲✌🏼

Garmin Daily Suggested: Threshold
10:00 in Zone 3
(6:00 at threshold // 2:00 recover) x3

Hills. Nothing but hills 💀
Also the last mile was on the pitch dark greenway on the way back to my car and also coincidentally my lifetime fastest mile 😅

And yes - these were strategically placed to be in sight immediately after entering my front door. Cuz i’m what? Exactly - annoying 😂

The hyperfixation struck and said I couldn’t do anything else until I plotted out where my race tchotchkes would go 😅 I think I’ll have room for 20 and currently have 10 registrations scattered from this month through next summer
