I did a 30 minute bike ride. The weather was pretty and it's supposed to be gross the rest of the week.
Tuesday: track work
I did track workout solo. I decided on 3x1200 + a 400. The workout is on an old 10k plan I have.
Mile warmup. 5:35, 5:37, 5:35 (about 7:16 pace, the track might be long), and then a 1:39 400. It's really not the fastest, but I haven't been doing speed. I can get back in shape and get those numbers faster. (DON'T BE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF)
Wednesday: 4 miles in the rain
It's been raining. It was gorgeous and sunny for a few hours. Then it poured. It was sprinkling and it took me forever to talk myself into running. I stayed in the car. And listened to some sister drama. #family. I finally ran and it was fine. Weather wise. Another crappy run-walk. My legs are fine. Is it my lungs?

Thursday: 4 miles of trails
Same as yesterday. The weather was 70. It almost felt hot. But 70s is perfect for me. Had an interesting run. My quads were super sore. I could feel the knots in them before I ran. Another run/walk. I felt better towards the end.
Friday: Off
Usual off day. I came home and watched a movie. It felt like the end times. It feels weird and I don't like it. The stores are out of toilet paper and vegetables.
Saturday: 4 miles
I would have liked to do my second speed workout or long run, but had a busy day. So I did a warmup mile, 2 tempo miles and a cool down before heading off to a busy day. The tempo miles weren't as fast as I would have liked, but it was a hard effort.
Sunday: Long run
Did 10 miles with Matt. I feel like I saw less people out than usual. There were a few raindrops on the run, but not much. I ate 2.5 hours before the run and I was fine (oatmeal, peanut butter and banana, 8:30 a.m. for an 11 a.m. run). Fueled with UCAN. Actually felt great in the last few miles, so much that I did my last mile at 7:40 pace. Which I couldn't even run yesterday.
(My long runs are always so much better than any of my runs during the week. Is it because I'm more rested? Time of day? Who knows?
Miles this week: 26.6
Runs this week: 5, 1 bike ride
Still need to do more yoga and strength
