Oh, is it Christmas week?

Week-beginning Thoughts:

It just does not feel like Christmas at all... 

Monday

Did:  MBF 30min Total Body Weights, 30min Core

This was nice.

Tuesday

Did: 7.15mi @ 9:40/mi avg

Ugh. No sleep last night... 

Wednesday

Did:4.04mi @ 9:27/mi avg

Ugh. Another night of rough sleep.

Thursday

Scheduled: 2mi WU, 8-10x 400m "so hard you have to walk a bit to catch your breath"/200m recovery, 1mi CD

Did: 2mi WU, 9x400/200, 1mi CD = 6.55mi @ 9:00/mi avg

This was fun. I took off too fast on the first 400 (1:27), and definitely felt it the rest of the repeats. I stopped after each one, walked about 50m, and then continued the recovery jog. 400s really seemed long today, but it was fun to get a little speed back in my life.

I opted for 9 instead of 8 or 10.

1:27

1:38

1:40

1:41

1:38

All solidly sub-7 pace. 

Friday

Did: 9.0mi @ 9:53/mi avg plus one mile of walk/jog with the older kiddo

Got a nice long run with my family in before a loooong day in the car tomorrow. The older kiddo kept saying he wanted to run, but when it came time, he ended up walking more than running... 

Saturday

Did: nada

Drove up to visit family

Sunday

Did: lower body workout 

Total Weekly Mileage: 26.7

Week-ending Thoughts: 

Just trying to live in the moment and enjoy time away from work... even if it's not a vacation.
