Tuesday
Planned: 10 m
Did: #10mileTuesday - 2 Parts
Since Scott is traveling, I couldn't get this one done in the morning without being suuuuper late to work. I worked through the whole day and headed out for a late afternoon Part 1 before my cut-off time of 4:30pm to depart and pick up D. After I got D, we finished the run together on the Swamp Rabbit.
Part 1 at work - 3.80 mi @ 8:31/mi avg
My goal was to get at least 3 done, and I was pleasantly surprised to get close to 4! Plus, with a 3.8 miler done, I'd have exactly a #10kTuesday remaining. It was warmer than I expected this afternoon after morning temps in the upper 40s (!!) and low 50s. Thankfully the humidity was low enough that it wasn't miserable.
Part 2 in TR - 6.21 @ 9:15/mi avg w/ stroller
D and I headed out for an out-and-back on the Swamp Rabbit. He was (thankfully) in a really good mood and happily chattered while we ran. I felt kind of slow, but that's to be expected with a 1) late-afternoon run and 2) stroller. Turns out my pace wasn't bad at all! I had a thought to try to meet up with the Pint & Pie Pub Run group, but the timing just didn't work out. I did end up seeing several of them along the trail which was fun.
Also, D likes Clif bars (especially mine).

Wednesday
Planned: 5 m
Did: 5.01 mi @ 8:34/mi avg
Excited that I got notice late yesterday that my morning meeting today was cancelled = morning run!! The cool temps were so nice! I *almost* wished I had long sleeves at the beginning. Starting out my first thought was "oof, tired legs" because, duh, finished 10 miles ~12 hours ago. Good training for Bourbon Chase!! I ran through Upstate to get in some hills, and my heart rate pretty much matched the elevation changes:
Also, I swear those hills feel bigger than they look on this graph!
Turns out I was very close to a progression run, too.
I hit my turn-around point at Mile 3 and immediately thought "uh oh, I'm hungry". Mile 4 was a lot of downhill, so my pace didn't reflect the hunger, but I was feeling it on the slow climb back to my car.
Now for breakfast!

Thursday
Planned: 5 m
Did: 5.06 mi @ 8:49/mi avg
This run wasn't just poorly planned... it was completely unplanned. I arrived at work not even sure if I was going to run inside or outside, if I was going to do speedwork or just run, and if I was doing speedwork, what "style" would I do? I opted for outside since the gym was a little stuffy. I trotted out for a warm-up and decided that I would do intervals of random unknown distance (somewhere between 400-800m) and would just "go fast" at some unknown and unplanned target pace.
Yep, I'd say that went pretty well. I my head I kept thinking "maybe my fast intervals will be sub-8?" Uh huh. I went based on perceived effort and told myself "go fast, not a sprint, not too fast" except for the last quarter-mile(ish) which was definitely a "see how fast you can go". Whee!

Friday
Planned: rest
Did: #yogaFriday
Saturday
Planned: 10 m pace
Did: 12.52 mi @ 10:53/mi avg
With the potential for rain all day tomorrow and a 9am hard stop for run completion, I decided to just work in as many miles as we could do early this morning with Megan & Robin. We met downtown for a change of pace and a hope that there would be plenty of other people out and about at our 6am (!!) start time. We were right! Megan took the lead and we ran close to 8 miles through some downtown neighborhoods and eventually onto the Swamp Rabbit once the sun came out. After that portion, Robin and I did an out-and-back on the Trail to get in a total of 12.5 miles before my time was up. Felt good to get up and get those miles in!

Sunday
Planned: 20 m
Did: nothing
Yep. Just nothing.
Miles this week: 32.6 mi (out of planned 50) 😞
Week ending thoughts: Week started off awesome, but ended in a disappointing fizzle. Uncertain weather conditions and at-home stress combined and took over the weekend. Moving on and hoping the next is better.
