Notes:

  • When I got up Tuesday morning it was 17°F and I just didn’t feel like running in that! Which is funny, I know, since that will seem warm in Jan/Feb. So I took a half day and ran when it was in the low 30s in the afternoon. The sun was out for part of my run and it felt great.
  • My knee felt totally fine for all my runs this week, thankfully! I felt pretty good for all of them. On Sunday, I meant to run 9 miles and messed up my route and ran 10 and felt great. Yay!
  • I did an intense lower leg workout Saturday morning and did my long run Sunday. NOT my smartest combo. I need to do legs earlier in the week!
  • Bobbi and I met for a walk/rock hide on Saturday. I will keep saying this, but I am so glad it’s been nice enough out to meet friends to walk on snow-free (for now!) trails! I miss connecting with people in person so much and this helps (er, because it’s connecting with people in person, ha).
  • I’m hoping to get more walks in next week! I felt really tired this week and tried to get more sleep on Monday and Wednesday mornings instead of walking. (And it’s just so dark and cold after work and I don’t feel like it! Hashtag wah.)
