Week-beginning Thoughts:
I only know the days of the week exist because of my training schedule. It feels so strange to be in this limbo with the whole self-isolation bit.

Tuesday
Did: 10KTuesday @ 9:47/mi avg + LIIFT 4
Wednesday
Did: 3.64mi double stroller run @ 10:03/mi avg
Whelp, I'd planned on running the greenway, but it was flooded. Of course, I found this out after I'd unloaded the munchkins, unpacked and assembled the stroller, buckled everyone in, and handed out snacks.
My options at that point were:
1) undo all of that, and attempt to find another place I could drive to, park at, and run from (unlikely since all the park parking lots around here are closed, and the greenway is a floodplain through and through)
2) push the stroller UP a huge hill to make it to the main road
Plan 2 seemed mildly more acceptable. So that's what we did.
So. Damn. Hard.

Did: 4.01mi double stroller run @ 9:51/mi avg, LIIFT 4
Ran to my parents' house to wave at them from afar, and then back. Also super hard with lots of uphills. Walked a bit.

Friday
Did: LIIFT4 + 2mi run @ 8:54/mi avg
Felt fast today. :) Maybe I should warm-up my legs with a 30min leg workout before every run instead of just rolling out of bed and running?

Saturday
Did: 10.01mi stroller run @ 9:46/mi avg, Big 5
Yesterday, I was already dreading the idea of running ten miles without my usual training partners. Fortunately, the rain receded enough to make the greenway a viable option, and my oldest wanted to come with me. We enjoyed lots of impromptu math lessons (2mi done-- how many more to go?), nature talk, and even book reading (I just got to relax and listen while I ran). So grateful for this little one STILL loving the stroller and being such wonderful company for my 100ish minute run.

Sunday
Did: 5.01mi with family @ 9:09/mi avg
Enjoyed a nice Sunday Runday with the whole fam, complete with a little speed burst at the end, where my oldest was singing, "Run, run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch us, we're the gingerbread men."
Total Weekly Mileage: 30.92
Week-ending Thoughts:
- Um, idk. Cool to hit 30mpw again?
