Weekly Recap

This weekend was Family Weekend at work. And that means that I've now worked seven straight days and will continue to work for the next five days without having a day off. I'm tired. 

Nonetheless, in the midst of this long, long work week, I have had a successful workout regimen. Although slightly less mileage than I would like to get in.

I was able to get four runs in and two lifting sessions, and that's really all I can ask in a week this long. The runs were short compared to a normal training week, but I am glad they were because I really did NOT want to overdo it this week. 

This is what we ended up doing:

Monday: 3 miles

Tuesday: Lifting

Wednesday: 2 miles

Friday: 2 miles

Sunday: 3.1 miles with hills + lifting

I definitely felt like a real runner today. I got home around three o'clock from day seven of the work week, and still decided to go out for a run AND do some hill repeats. I could easily have passed out on the couch no questions asked. But my little running angel on my shoulder pushed my butt out the door. So glad that it did! 

Since I live in the land of flatness, my hill repeats when I'm not at Brian's parents' house are overpass repeats. I was pleasantly surprised by how easily I got over the hills. I'm actually getting better, guys. No joke.

Here's to more mileage this week. And sleep. Please let there be more sleep.
