Blah day

June 21: Basically most of the day was dedicated to the job hunt for the off days. Went to the surrounding towns of Plymouth like Ashland and Campton to try to see if they had any job openings. Filled out a few applications, but nothing too promising. I had one lady say that I should try coming back in a month, maybe they will have fired somebody by then. Alrighty then! She was definitely a yocal. Another place said experience required, which make I had to know how to make pizzas and she said something about be busiest on the weekends. Both of those are a negative for me. Didn't even bother grabbing an application.

It was about 4:30pm when I started to feel sluggish and bored. It was a still too hot to run at the time and I had nothing to so. But I finally got motivated and changed up for a run. I was out the door at 5:30pm. I wanted to go longer so I modified a run I had done last week where the road turned into a trail for about a half mile. So I started the run rather relaxed. It was a 12 mile loop and I wanted to add on so I took a different way home. Once I hit an hour of running, I got into the zone and found my stride. I rocked the last 5 miles in just over 6 minute pace. I was pumped. So it ended up being a 13.85 mile run (1:31:00.44 haha). So overall 6:30ish pace with a solid effort for the last third of the run. I had taken yesterday off because I was pretty tired from the first weekend at the campsite. I think I will designate Mondays as either an easy 5-7 (no watch) or a day off.

Food: made delicious nutella applesauce waffles this morning and a huge cheeseburger for dinner. Snacked throughout the day on almonds and pretzels. I think it fueled me pretty well for my run.

Overall: Last week was 71 and another 70 I am shooting for this week. When I get it the swing of things and find some more running routes, I will hopefully bump the mileage to 75-80. I don't want to get ahead of myself and wind up injured or exhausted.
