Wednesday 9/25
Run
5 minute easy run
Intervals - 7 x 1 minute hard, 2 easy
5 minute walk
One minute feels like a long time at that level of effort.
I am loosely following a running training plan I found and modified for 3x a week. It includes speed work, which is awesome. Feels nice to not be moving at a shuffle pace.
I saw a description of a Hybrid Athlete, they came up with that term because average lifter and shit runner was too long.
I like the long definition for me though, it’s more accurate. I can’t label myself as any kind of athlete.
I am getting some bad ideas for what I want to do with the running. I want to train for something specific. There has been Googling and research involved, but no commitments made. Looking at a few races for year. They are all a big ask, because I can’t just do a 5k.
I have been looking at three races for a few weeks now and staring at the course maps.
Just some vague ramblings for now.

Caroline Girvan, 15ish minutes (complexes)
This was with many breaks. Hubby and I came down with something and have been feeling run down and generally awful since Tuesday. I was feeling better, so I wanted to try some movement. Energy ran out quickly, started getting shaky and nauseous so I called it.
Sunday 9/29
Easy run, 25 minutes, 2 miles
Feeling a little bit better. Running and getting some sun on me felt way more tonic than trying to lift even light weights. Still only 80% or so. If my pace didn’t say that already.
Going into maintenance week, gain phase is over. Just walking this week. Family is visiting as well, so not a lot will be posted here. good timing for a no-gym week.

4 mile run, easy
Timing worked out perfect to run one way to a farmers market where I met my sister that is visiting. Perfect 75f night, absolutely gorgeous. The run felt amazing.
Scored some homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls, plus a local water melon. So carbs. I ran four miles to buy and later eat carbs. Just making sure I am primed for a cut… sounds logical, well go with that.
