Notes:

  • Ugh, Monday’s double was meant to be more substantial, but my day was a bit of a sh*t show. Blah. At least I got to run at all!!!
  • I took my rest day early, on Tuesday, because my legs were still beat up from that 5K, and Monday’s strength class only made them worse. They felt awesome for my Wednesday am run. Although, that could have been the cool weather and dew point.
  • I rarely woke up early to run this summer. I got out of the early morning running habit after my training partner moved, and I discovered the higher temps later in the day made me less miserable that the early morning humidity (sometimes). However, I’m finding in the fall it’s totally worth it to wake up earlier, and enjoy that low dew point and temperature before it gets hot midday/in the afternoon!
  • I got to do a very short run while on travel for work in Indianapolis this week! It was raining and quite a bit of the trail was flooded, but I still enjoyed it (had to move my legs before the four hour car drive back home!).
  • Oh man, my arms were already sore from the class I had just taught when I went swimming on Friday. Must have been an effective workout! I had been working on endurance during my recent swims, but decided to switch it up and do some intervals – those got my heart racing!
  • I finally almost regretted wearing a tank for a run this week. Yay! Is cooler weather really on its way?!
  • Has anyone noticed an issue with elapsed vs moving time on Garmin Connect? I try to keep my elapsed time from getting too high during my runs. After my run Sunday, my watch showed an elapsed time of four minutes longer (which is good, since it included two stops to fill up water and three road crossing stops), but later in the day, on Garmin Connect, it had the two times as being the same! It’s been doing that on my swims, too! I want to see the difference!

    Weird about the elapsed time changing on Garmin. I have to admit I’ve never even looked to see the difference. Lots of double workouts in your week!

    Yes! UGH – on GC all my elapsed times have disappeared the past few weeks. Luckily I saw mine as soon I synced my 20 mile run because it was when I went to edit my notes. I always check mine – especially when I take a pee break lol I want to how fast I can do them.
    It is finally cooler here this week. I may need long sleeves tomorrow 🙂
    Nice high mileage week! It is hard to do strength workouts when you are still sore.

      I am getting in to the habit now of taking a screenshot before it goes away so I can track it! I hope they fix it!

      Yay! I am happy you finally have some cool weather!!!
