Oh dear, I forgot to blog last week... writing this all fresh from my brain on uhhhh Friday/Saturday of the following week. Whoops. I did switch my working schedule around a bit so now I'm WFH Mondays & Wednesdays, in office Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I've found Fridays are muuuuch nicer in the office (nobody's there!) vs. Mondays (which are always very Monday-ish and I never seem ready for them when they come around).
Monday
Planned:off/XT
Did: 1.84 mi @ 10:40/mi + 30 min strength

Tuesday

Did: 6.28mi @ 8:20/mi avg w 7x400m
Track Tuesday at Furman! Struggled a little today, but got all 1:35-1:37 except the last one at 1:32!
Wednesday
Planned: 10 easy
Did: 10.14 mi @ 9:37/mi
Got this done after dropping D off at school and it was a lovely sunny morning!
Thursday
Planned: hills
Did: Altamont run
Back on the mountain for the first time in a while! Hard climb as always, of course, but man it felt good to climb and it seemed like the legs (not the lungs) were the limiting factor.
Friday
Planned: off/XT
Did: easy 1.65 mi
Just an easy loop around the neighborhood before heading into the office for the day.
Saturday
Planned: 20 miles
Did: 20.02 mi @ 9:15/mi avg
Headed out to the Lake House for the weekend due to Scott's traveling and me needing to run for about 3 hours. This meant I had to run on much hillier terrain than the usual long runs on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, but it was a great challenge and good to change the scenery for a bit.
I headed out from the house once the sun was sufficiently up and made my way down Lake Road towards the dam. Ended up being about 7 miles to Dam Road, and 8 miles down to the hydroelectric station. I turned around there and continued the other direction down Dam Rd. Found my way around a few more miles before turning back and heading on the return down Lake Road.
Overall felt great and sped up pretty significantly on the final few miles.

Sunday
Planned: 10 mi goal pace
Did: 4.5 mi easy + hot yoga
Just didn't have the time or energy for the 10 mile race pace run today. Took it easy with a few miles around the Swamp Rabbit before yoga.
