Ok, almost caught up on blogs! This is from last week...
Monday
2 mi pup run
Didn't have to take D to camp this morning, so ran with the pup around Furman instead.
2.26 mi pup ruck
20# pack, rucked to the horse farm trails at lunch
Tuesday
7.03 mi @ 8:27/mi #10kTuesday
Early miles with the downtown crew... was gonna stop at 6.2 but decided to go for the full 7.
Wednesday
5k pup run & coffee date
Met with Megan after camp drop-off for a 5k through Cleveland Park followed by a coffee date! Lovely morning. 💚
Thursday
6.1 mi @ 9:19/mi avg Altamont run
Back to the mountain we go! For this week, at least...
Friday
3.1 mi Hot Fish Run Club 5k Friday
An odd random run group at work that we've started a tradition of a 5k on Fridays... nice way to ease into the weekend!
Saturday
14.05 mi trail run (~3 hours)
Had to get some long trail miles, so got to Paris Mountain right as they opened and did allll the loops... lake loop at the bottom, new Sassafras loop, then the Sulfur Springs switchback climb up to the top. Did the upper loop in the opposite direction I typically do (Brissy > Pipsissewa > North Lake > Kanuga > Firetower > Sulfur Springs) and shockingly (🙃) it was not any easier. Was glad I decided to knock out Sassafras early instead of tacking it on at the end because that would have been very difficult to convince myself to do after all that... to run past the car and do another ~2 miles. Legs were definitely feeling it by the end but man I felt happy with that run!
Sunday
5.05 mi @ 10:28/mi avg
Intentionally slow and steady. Went in the middle of the afternoon, did loops around the neighborhood targeting keeping my heart rate under 160bpm. If it went above (as it often did when I started climbing The Hill at the end of the neighborhood) I would walk until it dropped and recovered to 150, then run again. This felt like great training for heat and keeping the pace & exertion under control!
