A good week in training.
Monday: Ran the infamous 5 mile suburban loop at lunch on Monday. It's been a while since I've tackled this hilly loop so it was a bit of a challenge. However, I did discover an alternate route that didn't add much distance but avoids the "private property" so I no longer have to trespass to run this loop.
Tuesday: Busy at work so I didn't make it to Yoga class, but I got in some lifting.
Wednesday: About 4 miles with 3 mile tempo run and 1 mile of warm up and cool down. The tempo was good. I started out way too fast and had to gut it out at the end to hit my goal pace for the run. I really need to work on negataive splits.
Thursday: Before driving to Grandma's house I got in a two mile run with the jog stroller. I now remember why I stopped trying to push kids in that stupid stroller.
Friday: Took it easy at Grandma's for the 4th.
Saturday: Woke up early and got in a nice 8 mile run in Cortez. It was really beautiful to run through the country in the morning. Lots of open farm land and cows. It was a bonus not to get chased by any dogs as well. The last mile was really tough because it was up a fairly steep hill.
Overall, I feel good about my training. Getting harder to find time to fit in all the workouts I'd like to do. Need to get my bike situation figured out so I can get some cross training in. Also, I think I should be good to go for swimming next week.
