I felt strong! If I was paying attention to my watch I would have run the extra 0.05 miles and gotten a new 5k training cycle PR. It feels good to be lowering the pace and things still feeling comfortable.

I did end the day with a pretty bad headache, which is either because I’m limiting sugar intake or because I’m not eating enough food. I’m going to keep monitoring my diet.

Today was rough. I felt bad from the beginning and felt even worse after. I think stress and no sleep got to me today. The whole day was rough. Proud of myself for still getting in a run.

Things are still a struggle. My legs were a little sore, my diet has been terrible, and my mental health has been a struggle. Still proud I was able to keep consistent and get out there for at least a mile.

Finding fitness again has been fun. I ran the full first two miles and it felt easy! Then I did some walk running for the second two miles. My plan was to run slower, but I tried and failed. I need to start keeping my long runs in the 10min per mile range until my fitness improves some more. Next weeks long run I am going to try and run slower.
