Did: short strength
Was short on time but decided to stick with the "something is better than nothing" mantra and went down for a quick strength session. Must have done something worthwhile because Tuesday morning = sore glutes.
Tuesday
Did: 7.47 mi @ 7:53/mi avg
I commented to my track buddy this morning that, while I don't think I'm getting faster based on my interval times, I must be going faster overall because I'm finishing the workouts quicker. Did a ladder today and had time for several extra laps at the end before our track time was up.

The humidity was low today which probably (definitely) helped!

Wednesday
Did: 4.8 mi trail run
Ran the work trails at lunch, wasn't too terribly hot and felt like I wasn't pushing too hard. Interesting how almost 5 miles has kind of become a nice easy trail run.
Thursday
Did: 40 mins trainer ride
Today's a busy day and I have to leave early from work, so I got up early and did a trainer ride in the basement. Stuck with 3 min hard effort / 1 min recovery for 5x rounds. Worked up a good sweat before 5AM! Woohoo.
Friday
Did: rest, though did walk ~1hr on the treadmill desk
Saturday
Did: 8.18 mi trail run
Did a midday run at Paris Mountain today and finally felt good enough to get over 8 miles! Did the whole climb up Sulphur Springs, looped around Firetower > Kanuga > Brissy, then back down. What a difference it makes when I don't have a time pressure to finish. That little relief makes it much more enjoyable.

| Trails! |
Did: 7.17 mi @ 9:29/mi avg
Ran through Green Valley for a morning road run, nothing much special and I could tell my legs were tired. Gonna need to get them used to building mileage and doing back-to-back weekend runs.
Week-ending thoughts:
Ummmm so 50k training (18 weeks) starts Monday. I should probably decide on a training plan. lolololol
