Maybe I'll remember this week?

 Actually only TUESDAY and I'm starting this so 🎉

Monday

Did: 60 min Power Flow w/ Karina

Lunchtime yoga and did it outside on the patio - so nice! 

Tuesday

Did: 7.07 mi @ 8:09/mi avg Track Tuesday

Wheeee track Tuesday back at it, with both Matt and Chris today. Beautiful temps and felt good and energetic today. 3x3x400 at 10k, 5k, and 1m progressive pace for each set of 3. 200 recover between each within the set, then 400 recovery between each set of 3. 

Set 1 (target 1:55 / 7:40/mi pace) - 2:00, 1:55, 1:53

Set 2 (target 1:45 / 7:00/mi pace) - 1:49, 1:47, 1:45

Set 3 (target 1:35 / 6:20/mi pace) - 1:38, 1:33, 1:36

Not too far off target paces, so I'll take it! Man that felt good.

Wednesday

Did: 3.22 mi @ 8:37/mi

Took the only free half hour of my day to get in a quick few miles around the neighborhood in the afternoon. It was pretty warm by the time I got out, but glad to get something!

Thursday

Did: 5.28 mi @ 8:19/mi

Ran home from dropping D off at school this morning and it was so nice to run in the early morning dawn hours. I made an effort to push the pace on the section while I was on the Swamp Rabbit trail (kind of like tempo miles?) - didn't really have a goal but Strava says I did pretty well with that rough concept:

Friday

Did: nothing

Crazy busy day. Exhausted!

Saturday

Did: 8.5 mi @ 9:11/mi avg

Waited alllll morning for the rain to let up enough to get me out the door, finally got out around 12:45pm. It was still sprinkling and the rain just saps my energy, so I felt really slow and sluggish even though my pace actually turned out to be pretty good. Didn't have time for the distance I wanted but was good enough.

Sunday

Did: 60 min Soul Sculpt w/ Eleanor + 3.5 mi hike 

Since I missed my sculpt class this week I decided to do Sculpt on Sunday. It was a great class and I really liked the instructor! Felt good to sweat. 

In the afternoon, we met D's friend at Paris Mountain and hiked Sulphur Springs in the opposite direction as last weekend. It was a tough little climb and we got caught in the rain on the way back to the car, but nice to get out on a mostly rained-out weekend!

A hair over 24 miles for the week when I felt like it was a pretty low-mileage effort seems good to me! Shows that the short runs when I'm "just getting in what I can" really do make a difference.
