Notes:
- I think there is some law of running that when you are doing hill repeats on a road, 50% of the time, there will be traffic when you need to turn. Gah. I was so happy to run outside Monday, but the traffic and wind made me a bit nuts!
- I have lost some weight (about 14%) and my run paces are dropping as a result of that. Yay!
- It was in the mid 60s when I did speedwork this week. Nutso! And it was quite windy, eek. My paces were all over, but it was nice to do speedwork outside in shorts!
- I didn’t think I’d get to run with my dad in Kansas City, because it was so cold, but he brought his bike and rode with me in the cold Saturday and on the snow/while it was still snowing on Sunday. YAY! I love my one on one time with Dad when I am running.

Sounds like a great week! The weather in the 60s must have been a nice change.
It was, even though it was so windy!
Ha ha when I was doing my hill repeats this week I was crossing a tiny alley. I thought there’d no cars but around half the time there were.
AND IT’S THE MOST ANNOYING THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha
