Notes:

• This felt like a lazy week! I didn’t want to get out of bed in the early am (until Friday) and had stuff going on after work most days, so not a lot of time made to work out. Hashtag excuses.
• I saw my friend Riyanti during my Tuesday run. It’s always run to run into a friend on the trail!
• My road bike is so light I feel like I am blowing over if there is any hint of wind. Ha. I am A LOT faster on it though.
• I had such a strong run Saturday, yay! I am going to stick around the 3 mile distance for a while so I don’t push it too fast with my knee.
• I keep waking up with a stiff right foot, almost plantar fasciitis-y. Ugh, something new to watch.
• This was the first week I did my long ride on my road bike, and, like I said above, I just feel so much faster on it! It’s nice to get done a bit quicker!
