Notes:
- Gah, I totally overdid it on Monday, without realizing it until it was too late. I’ve often run longer distances before teaching class and it’s been no big deal. But I’ve figured out why this class is so hard – the core work has cardio bursts with it that really jacks your heart rate up. So that, coupled with a ten mile run before class did me in! Oops!
- 5K course PR training this week:
- I was crunched for time so I did my 6 1-mile hill repeats as part of my long run. That was tough! I think I’ll focus on shorter (in distance, not elevation) hills for the rest of the month.
- Speedwork for the week was 8×400. The first and last one were in to 20+ mph winds, so… yeah, that was fun. Ha!
- This week was a bit loco with the move, but I am happy with what I fit in! And always very grateful that Steven is supportive of me taking the time to work out (cause it keeps me sane!).

Hill repeats on your long run lol girl, you amaze me!
Technically, moving isn’t rest 😉
Thanks!
It really isn’t! I didn’t sit much at all on Saturday!
I like doing 400s but on the treadmill. I did 4 on Friday at a pace that I’ve never done and surprised myself because while they were hard, I managed to complete them without stopping. Yes, I did pat myself in the back. 🙂
Awesome job!
