Busy week this week with Scott out of town, so the standard early morning runs aren't happening. At least it's a drop-back week for the long weekend miles.
Monday
Planned: off/XT
Did: 2.48 mi trail run
Ran the trails at work during lunchtime. The trees are all in bloom and campus is beautiful!
Tuesday
Planned: speedwork
Did: 6.4 mi @ 8:26/mi
Ran through USC Upstate at lunch to get some hills... no real opportunity for speedwork today. Unseasonably warm today, mid to upper 70s! Whew!
Wednesday
Planned: 6mi
Did: 6.02 mi @ 10:07/mi avg
My only WFH day of the week, took the opportunity to get in a run after dropping D off at school. Easy pace along the SRT, quite nice. Considered doing more than the scheduled 6 miles but felt tired and decided to stick to the plan.
Thursday
Planned: hills
Did: 5 mi treadmill speedwork (10x400m)
Got in to work and went straight to the gym for some speedwork on the treadmill since I'd missed it earlier in the week. Did 10x 400m at progressive pace starting from 7:30/mi and getting up to sub-6/mi.
Friday
Planned: off/XT
Did: 12.2 mi long run (10.4 + 1.87)
Due to a busy weekend and some scheduling challenges, decided to do get the long run done early Friday. Started at 0515 and ran on the Swamp Rabbit around Furman until 0645. Got 10.4 mi @ 8:16/mi done in that window, hopped in the car and drove to work, and finished out with 1.87 mi on the cross-country trails. Very glad to have that done early!
Saturday
Planned: 12 mi
Did: 3.11 mi @ 7:10/mi Earth Run 5k
Had the Milliken Earth Run 5k on Saturday morning, and my first year as Race Director. It was perfect weather and we had great participation - really happy with how things went, and quite surprised to accomplish 2nd overall female in the race too!

| Team! |
Planned: 6 mi race pace
Did: 9.4 mi @ 8:08/mi (with 6 mi race pace)
Time change, cold, and rainy meant I was not looking forward to running... but deciding to do a one-way run to meet the rest of the family downtown for lunch made it much more appealing! Decided to work in my goal pace miles within the middle of the run. Started out from the house, made it over to the Swamp Rabbit trail, and set off as soon as my watch ticked over to the 2-mi mark. Kept good consistent speed through the next 6, debated a pit-stop at SRCG but decided to keep going and felt awesome.
