Pre-Christmas Week

Monday

Did: 3.07 mi @ 9:20/mi + 60 min Vinyasa at Soul Yoga

Morning run after school drop-off. Last one of these until 2024!

Did an afternoon yoga class at Soul - needed that stretchy goodness.

Tuesday

Did: 6.7 mi @ 8:41/mi + 20 min ruck strength + 1.6 mi ruck @ 15:27/mi avg with 30# dry weight

Track Tuesday with Matt & Christy this morning. I did a ladder of 400 - 800 - 1000 - 800 - 400 and kept a pretty good consistent pace of 6:20-6:30/mi for the 400s, 6:45 for the 800s, and just sub-7 for the 1000. It was a cold morning, sub-freezing temps, but felt pretty good once we were moving around the track. The breeze was unpleasant but not awful.

At lunch, I hit the work gym for a ruck WOD - this one was tough! Took the 30# pack for a walk around the perimeter loop afterwards.

20# pack, 40# sandbag
Did 2 full rounds + half of the third suitcase carry

Wednesday

Did: 1 mi treadmill run + 5.5 hours of skiing

Fun day of chasing an 8-year-old down snowy mountains!

Thursday

Did: 5.21 mi @ 8:29/mi

USC Loop at lunchtime - what started out as a super cold morning (mid-20s!) turned into a gorgeous sunny day. Almost an identical pace as the previous week on this loop. Pretty amazing the consistency!

Friday

Did: 2.15 mi @ 9:14/mi avg

Did some hill repeats at the very end of the day on the Riverbend climb. Pretty to watch the sunset change with each repeat!

Last repeat

Saturday

Did: 6.3 mi run + 7 mi ruck + 2.4 mi pup walk

Lots of activities today! Started with an hour run with friends from the Swamp Rabbit grocery, then put on the 20# ruck for 7 miles. Longest ruck I've done in a while and need to get some more mileage added. Later in the day did a pup & kiddo walk.

Kids in the woods 💚🐾

Sunday

Did: 1.5 mi run + 7 mi mountain bike ride + 2.4 mi pup walk

Got in a quick neighborhood run before heading to Issaqueena for the annual Xmas Eve group mountain bike ride. This year was D's first year going on the ride, so we had a sub-set of folks do a shorter family ride apart from the larger group who did a few more miles. Ended up having a great time hanging out in the parking area after - sort of an impromptu potluck lunch! Great times. 

Tired after biking

Took the pup out for a walk once we got home since she'd been in her crate all morning. Maybe next year she can be trusted to do the Xmas Eve ride, too.
