Took two groups out this morning: an early shift and a normal shift. It feels so good to be running a mid-8 pace easily again. 

Friday

Run led again, and then did a bunch of ONBs to pick up subsequent groups and run them in.

So tired. So exhausted. So home.

Not Training For Anything: Week 3/3 (Half Marathon Week)

Week-beginning Thoughts:

I just want a normal week without travel or any "out of the ordinary" events. I just feel like I've been traveling SO MUCH lately. Even if it's fun, it's still stressful. 

Monday

Planned: MBFW2 Lower

Tuesday

Planned: ONB 10KTuesday

Did: 6.64mi @ 9:51/mi avg, 2mi trick-or-treat walk

Of course, I dressed up as Road Runner for this Halloween run. :) I hope I made some commuters' days on their way into the office. Pretty proud, too, of the 10:04/mi avg pace for the out followed by the 8:28 avg pace for the "back". 

Wednesday

Planned: MBF W2 Core 1 and W2 Upper, plus 1mi WU, Ladder mile/800/400/200 with 400m recoveries, 1mi CD

Did: as scheduled = 4.83mi @ 8:03/mi avg

I did this on the track around the soccer field my kid practices on, and seriously doubt that my GPS was accurate. Between both watches, I was still running WAY faster than usual. Probably a short track + wonky GPS that gave me more distance than it ought to have... 

WU: 8:51/mi avg

Mile: 7:27/mi

800: 3:28 (6:44/mi)

400: 1:40 (6:35)

200: 0:45 (6:29)

Still proud for getting it done. 

Thursday

Planned: easy 5

Did: 5.10 @ 9:51/mi avg

Yep. Easy 5 it was.

Friday

Planned: MBFW2 Upper

Did: MBFW2 Total 

Yay, getting work in. 

Saturday

Planned: rest day or a few stroller miles 

Did: MBF W2 Core 2, 1.41mi stroller @ 10:01/mi avg

Worked in the morning, then got a core workout in, because I couldn't not do ANYTHING. Midway through the morning, I realized I'd actually signed up to stroller run tomorrow's half. Ew. 

My little one wanted to come with me, so I agreed to try a short run with him through the hills around our house. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I definitely was not in the mood to run 13 miles like that with the stroller. 

Sunday

Planned: half marathon @ solid effort

Did: 13.25mi @ 8:59/mi avg

Nailed it. Race Report: Alpharetta Women's Half 2023

Total Weekly Mileage: 31.2

Week-ending Thoughts:
