Monday
Did: RF Day 15
I don't remember what this workout was. But it's all I did that day. 🤷
Tuesday
Did: 6.3 mi Track Tuesday + RF Day 16
Finally back at the track for an early workout! Only got 4x800 due to some, erm, bathroom stops. But not bad for the first time in a month!

| Crescent Moon over Paris Mtn |
Got the RF workout done when I got home... again, I don't recall what it was.
Wednesday
Did: 60 min Soul Sculpt w/ Brionna + RF Day 17 + Sunset at Sassafras Mtn (4.
Ok so maybe I overdid it today. 😳 But man it was such a great day! I got in an on-demand sculpt class plus the RF workout for the day.

| Weighted fire hydrants. Oof. |
Had an evening to myself and was feeling like an adventure, so I decided to run to the peak of Sassafras Mountain (highest peak in South Carolina) to watch the sunset. Fun, right?? The route was a little over 2 miles via trail to get to the top and about 1400ft to climb. I gave myself an hour to get to the top which was more than enough - only problem is that then I had to wait for sunset and I got a little chilly!

| Evening sun through the trees |

| Trail was so nice! |
 |
| Peaks in the distance |
 |
| Vines and stairs |
 |
| Nice views along the way up |
 |
| So happy to be in the woods! |

| Trail along the ridge |

| Final approach to the top |
 |
| Arrived at the top! |
I explored and took photos for a bit, looked around at the top of the observation tower, then took my place on a bit of bald rock with a great view.
I had about 30 minutes to enjoy the gradual descent of the sun into the horizon over the ridge in the distance. I took way too many pictures, but ended up with this really pretty progression.

After the sky turned into the soft pinkish-orange, I started my journey back to the car as the trails disappeared into darkness around me. Not gonna lie, got a little anxious in the dark by myself, but I had my trusty pepper spray in hand and a headlamp on my head. I made quick work of the return trip (just under 30 minutes!) and was on my way home before 9pm.

I'm so glad I decided to run this and hope to do it again soon!
Thursday
Did: RF Day 18
Well, the feeling of excitement and strength from Wednesday quickly dissolved as I came down with a stomach bug overnight. 🤮 By the evening I mustered enough strength to half-ass my way through the daily workout (it was thankfully one of the easier ones anyway) and slept for 9.5 hours after napping on the couch all day.
Friday
Did: RF Day 19 + 60 min Flow & Deep Stretch w/ Jasmine
Feeling more normal and stronger today, I got in the RF workout and a nice yoga session.
Saturday
Did: 6.2 mi @ 7:57/mi + RF Day 19
An early run in a new place! Headed to the doodle trail and did a quick out-and-back as the sun rose. Apparently I'm back to full strength based on the pace of that run... ! 😮
Got the workout done later in the morning - this was the 100 clapping pushups workout but decided to do no-clap real pushups. That was tough!
Sunday
Did: Charlotte Spartan Sprint!
Event Report here
Definitely a lot of highs and lows for this week!
