Pre-vacation week

Week beginning thoughts: Well, it's Tuesday and I'm starting this, so not starting the week off great. Motivation is low because we leave Saturday for vacation and I'm not really training for anything, so most things are approached with "eh, whatever" attitude.

Monday
Planned: strength
Did: nothing

Tuesday
Planned: #10kTuesday
Did: 6.23 mi w/ 4x800, 1x400 at the track
Did the early run downtown group today and the run leader decided it was a good day for a track workout. 800m repeats! This was a great workout, fun to do with a group of people, and I finally got to use the Greenville High School track for the first time. Woohoo! The lights aren't on in the early morning, but it's light enough around that you can see all the way around the track. I paced off of Matt (the self-declared run lead for the day) for the first 3 repeats, but pulled back for the last one. Finished off with a 400 and then we all ran back to the start. I had a little extra to finish off 10k, but felt great. Stretched at the end.

Splits for the 800s:
3:09, 3:15, 3:17, 3:24

1:32 for the 400

My goal was to keep everything sub-7 pace, and I did that... yay!

Wednesday
Planned: strength (make up for Monday)
Did: flow yoga
Met up with Megan & Robin for a free "yoga on the square" session in downtown Greenville. It was actually pretty challenging! Felt great though, and really glad the rain stopped in time for the class to be held. Hopefully we can do it again sometime!

Thursday
Planned: run or bike
Did: nothing

Friday
Planned: ?
Did: nothing

Saturday
Did: 6.38 mi @ 9:20/mi
Got up early and did a little over 6 miles in the neighborhood. Caught the sunrise and felt good to get some miles done since the rest of this week has pretty much been a wash.

Yessss.

Week before vacation appears to be challenging due to the "omg need to get things finished before I leave" pressure at work. It's ok, I know that my baseline fitness is good enough that one week of "eh" won't be too bad.

Sunday
.... this blog will get cut short due to VACATION starting on Saturday. We're planning to bike and of course do #10kTuesday, but other than that, it will be free of structured workouts.
