Nightime is the rightime

Tonight, I ran faster and farther than I did during my 10K race just 5 days before!

I think one of the major reasons was the heat - it was not nearly as hot has it was at the race at 6 pm in mid-town Los Angeles. Yay for living near the coast.

I was hurting really bad when I started the running part of my intervals - I was worried I had injured something during the race earlier in the week as it was the longest time/distance I had spent on the pavement/asphalt since I started this hole thing. But I thought to myself “it is supposed to hurt, or else everyone would do it all the time” and I pushed through the pain for the first two miles. Then it started to clear up a little and while it still hurt, I knew it was going to be okay. More than okay, in fact! I ended up finishing at one of my best times ever and it was a great feeling!
