Week-beginning Thoughts:
Wooooooo, maternity leave! :D Here's hoping Bump's in a good spot for the remainder of this pregnancy and I'm able to use some of my newfound freetime to run happily. Achilles is still slightly sore to pressure in the evenings, but no trouble when taped.

Monday
Did: rest
Mmm, all the naps. :D

Tuesday
Did: 6.35mi @ 11:29/mi avg, Big 2, plus 3mi walk & chorus
Woohoo! A run that felt good! I took a few walk breaks, more to check myself than out of necessity, but this run felt really good the whole way through. I even followed up with walking my munchkin to school (though walking an empty stroller back home was a bit wonky). After chorus this evening, I had almost 11.5mi on my watch for the day. Yay!

Wednesday
Did: rest
OMG. I stayed our full chorus rehearsal last night (7pm-10pm), got home, couldn't sleep (as usual) until like 11:30-12am, and, for the first time EVER, got to sleep in without an alarm or anything to do at all until nearly noon. IT WAS AMAZING. :D Living the dream, truly.

Thursday
Did: 1mi WU, 1600/400, 1200/400, 800/400, 400/400, 1mi CD = 5.58mi total @ 9:35/mi avg, Big 2
Another fantastic track day! Yessssssss. I'm super appreciating not having to run the YMCA hill these past few weeks and just warming up on the track. I didn't feel faster than last week, but splits say otherwise:
1600: 9:29 (9:48 last week)
1200: 6:54 (7:16 last week)
800: 4:08 (4:38 last week)
400: 2:01 (2:05 last week)

Enjoyed a nice ~5K pre-dawn run with my toddler and some friends at the river.

Saturday
Did: 4mi @ 11:15/mi avg, 0.5mi walk
Planned on doing 4-5mi today, and opted for the shorter end due to having to pee a lot + OMGHUMIDITY. That was probably the right call, considering I came back had some French toast, and then napped for a few hours without any respite from the fatigue I've had since dinnertime yesterday. Legs, abdomen, achilles, etc. all felt great, though; my only problem was the moistness :P

Sunday
Did: 4.26mi walk @ 17:37/mi
Wanted to be active today, but running four days in a row isn't something I've done for quite awhile, so I opted to drag the family out for a walk to/from the local city park.

Week-ending Thoughts:
- I'm not running the same distance I did with my first pregnancy at this point, but I'm feeling SO much more comfortable each mile, not taking any planned walk breaks (only breaks to pee/fix clothing), and am not training for a half marathon.
- So crazy to think that, at this point next week, I might have a new squishy baby
- Running continues to be a source of joy, inspiration, and happiness... except when putting my shoes on. Oof.
