I FEEL THIS GOOD RIGHT NOW. Ran a 5k on the treadmill today in 20:45!!!! If I could run that outside I could join my college team as an upperclassman, and be one of the best runners on the team! Aaaaah I want so badly for this to be real. Anyway post-run walked for 4 minutes at 9% incline, did some lifting, Level 1 of 8 Minute Abs, and this video which I will refer to as Spandex 8 Minute Abs for clarity. But waaaahhhh I want to run this fast outside!
