07.05
evening ballet class
09.05
did some emergency yoga and walked a bunch. maybe a bit too much. my right calf hurt a bit the next morning
10.05
the big run! this was very exciting
the run was La Marseillaise des Femmes, an annual 5.4-km women's run in marseille. the vibe was good, and i loved commuting to the village in the morning
and seeing only other women in exercise clothes outside...this is what the city should feel like always fr
i can't say the run felt Easy but it was nice to be with friends and our pace ended up being pretty similar. we were a group of 4. me and kübra were more
into sprinting and walking, katy and sam were more into the continuous slow run. i got competitive towards the end and zoomed off for a while but i got tired
and they caught up lol. we all finished within 2 minutes of each other in the end.
my official time was 42:39, which i'm pretty pleased with :) def a bit faster than any of my previous 5k runs
anyway, now that the run is done i'm gonna try to focus on ballet bc i am getting quite scared thinking about our ballet recital aahh (i am writing this exactly 1 month before the performance)
11.05
some morning yoga to stretch out my poor calves
12.05
