three weeks to hospital hill. blissed out.

I'm not exactly sure what my deal is, but the past few weeks have brought a change to my legs. It's like they want to run. Badly. Farther and faster. If I don't run enough or at a certain pace it's like my legs turn into little monsters who refuse to calm down in the evenings. Bizarre.

Even my long run yesterday was something I didn't expect. I've been loathing longer distances but yesterday even after finishing 10 miles (with the last 6 at a pace I'm hoping to keep during the half) my legs weren't done. They were still antsy. I do think it's a fluke, and that it will pass. Until then I'll ride the 'legs just wanna run' wave and see what happens.

Week Seven of HH Training: 
Monday - 4 miles
Tuesday - 5 miles, hills
Wednesday - double yoga, lunch class and evening hot
Thursday - 3 miles with milo
Friday - 5 miles, hills
Saturday - Rest (even though my legs were driving me and the edder both crazy, i couldn't sit still)
Sunday - 10 Miles (four with milo and some friends, six solo at a faster pace)

Sometimes a woman just has to run. Sounds like you're ready to rock that half! Go get those miles.
