Monday- Wednesday: 0 Miles. Intentional rest days. Feels so nice not to go to practice at 3 like usual.
Thursday: 6 Miles
Short rose into Gables with Tim, Dean and Nate. Probably my favorite route. Felt mostly solid but had very sore calves that got worse as I went on and some chest heaviness/pain.
Friday: 7 Miles
Jenkins with a group of guys, I think Ryan, Dean, Mike, Davis and Cody. Felt decent, legs were somewhat tight. Still some leftover soreness but none of the chest problems.
Saturday: 8 Miles
Andrew and I did Pudding Hill, very enjoyable loop at a nice and easy 7:05 pace. Felt heavy and wobbly at the start but eased in and felt relaxed for most of it. Suddenly had to poop 5 miles in, it was somewhat of a disaster.
Sunday: 9 Miles
Bennett with Andrew again. Pretty enjoyable, we ran pretty slow today as well and I felt really good, easily the best of any run this week. Got kinda weak the last mile but it didn't really ruin the run at all.
Weekly Total: 31 Miles
YTD Total: 488 Miles
Not real highlights or lowlights this week, but...
Weekly Highlight: Kinda nice to have a real down week, stress levels were pretty low.
Weekly Lowlight: Definitely still somewhat hard to stomach the failures of the indoor season. It's nice to take a break from racing when hard work has paid off and I have performances behind I'm happy with, but when hard work has led to absolutely no results, I only want to race more to redeem myself. In that regard, it's going to a brutal 5-week wait to race again. Just hoping the conditions can be right for each one and I'll be ready to go by then.
