Exercise Type: Run

Wasn't sure if I would be able to get to the Spike Classic in time for a warmup, so I went ahead and did an easy run around my neighborhood. My legs felt awful, and I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to run 5 kilometers in a few hours without being in a lot of pain the whole time. But, I managed to catch three leaves on the warmup, so everything was alright.
Got to the race in time for another short warmup with Jacob. My legs somehow felt a ton better, so I made up my mind to run. I started out running and chatting with Moon, which was really nice, and caught one more leaf! For whatever reason, somewhere around 2-2.5 miles I decided to start picking it up, which felt good. I kept speeding up, feeling pretty good, and then had what I felt was a pretty nice kick starting into the detour. It was definitely unnecessary for me to start picking up the pace, but I was curious to see what would happen, and I had a really good time getting to move my legs. It was a lot of fun to get to say hi to all the alums and catch some leaves (grand total of 13 now!) and a really great cause to come support.
