7:30 AM - 4 Miles - 27 min
So I had a lot on my to do list today and got up early to try to get it all done. I started some laundry and cleaning at around 6:30 AM before getting out for a run. I also had the world championships on at the same time to try and multi task. I then went for my run and was planning on doing 6-7 miles but it was already so humid and I just wasn't feeling that great in general. Legs are still feeling tired and the left hamstring is still tight... but I felt better after stretching everything out really well. I then went grocery shopping to pick up some food for the little Osaka gathering I was hosting after work and got back just in time to watch the women's 10K final, which was an amazing race by the way! So I tried to eat breakfast and get ready for work while watching the race and ended up being a few minutes late because of it.
Work was pretty steady all day and I was feeling kinda tired throughout. After getting home and prepping for the Osaka gathering, people started showing up and despite the uncomfortable heat, burning the plantains, and having some technical difficulties with the live broadcast, I think people had a pretty good time and were able to watch some good track footage. I plan on DVRing most of the TV coverage throughout this week and try to watch it all eventually. We may also have another get together like the one we had tonight since there are plenty of races left to watch and I have a ton of leftover food to go through. So I'll let you guys know when and where if that happens. Anyway, that's it for today. Carter, Maloney and I are meeting at the Fells tomorrow morning for a long run at 9am if anyone is interested in joining us.
