Morning run

I got my speed intervals in before work today!

Well, I’m taking the morning off because I have a doctor’s appointment, and I took advantage of the extra pre-appointment time to run in the daylight. BY MYSELF.

This is my post-run look of independence and rain-soaked-ness.

I haven’t done real speed intervals for, uhhh, the entire month of February, so these 800s felt difficult and a smidge slow today:

3:55
3:49
3:53
3:56

But not bad! Just motivation to get back into doing them more.

My appointment this morning is something that I’ve been meaning to do for a while… and that feels long overdue, and kind of scary: I’m getting a full-body skin check for any abnormal moles, etc.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time in the sun, particularly while traveling and running, and only became super-vigilant with sunscreen in the past few years. I’m also kind of a mole-y person in general (just look at my face, yo), so it’ll be nice to find out what’s normal and what’s not from a professional.

Hopefully I’ll have good news to share afterward. And, if not good, then hopefully not terrible.
