Conversation with Maginste's 14 year old brother Josh before running one mile of my warm up with me

Me: "Man, I can't believe you're out here for a second day in a row. I must've really made you want to be a runner"

Josh: "Oh no, I don't want to be a runner. I just found that if I exercise a little bit, my mom doesn't hassle me about playing Fortnite in the evening".

Me: ... "Oh, gotcha"

The kids an absolute savage freak beast. Unfortunately for him, Fortnite had a new update and new season start today, so he was never able to get on and play in the evening. Both the Ginste brothers were acting like they had just gone through a horrible break up. I suggested that they play some COD or maybe Halo, but apparently those games died years ago. RIPPPPPPP. To quote Josh- "Without Fortnite, I feel like Maisie's (their dog) existence... useless". SHEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSHHHHH

Anyways, the second workout of the summer was 4x200 at R pace with 200 jog rest, 3x1 miles at T pace, and 4x200 at R pace. I decided to warm up from the Ginste house to Adams, which is 3 miles. Definitely a big mistake, but the workout went really well. I did the 200s on the same small, grassy hill I did them on Tuesday. The mile repeats were a bit more sporadic. I did them on the grassy field, into an uneven/steep af hill/, into a narrow trail, and onto the road. I definitely would be slow going up hills at the beginning and blast the 2nd half. So maybe a little beyond Threshold effort, but the splits were on point.

I once again felt pretty good for this workout. I felt like I could've done another mile repeat and/or set of 4x200. Even though I was going by effort, I was happy with the splits. I did take an L on the cooldown though. I hit 2 miles and my legs were tired af. I realized that i was over 10 miles for the day, so I walked the last mile home lol. Then I managed to get lost in the Ginstes neighborhood that I have been living in for 5 weeks. Turn those L's into lessons I guess. But overall good day!
