So I have done an amazing job staying current with my blog, even my wife has been putting on the pressure! So here goes a recap of the last week. (wait... I can barely remember anything I did)
Monday - Friday. Four runs on the dreadmill at work. They were usually 6-8 mile runs at easy paces. Although, even easy paces on the treadmill just don't have that soft fuzzy feeling of running outside. As there are limited TVs in the gym at work, I am usually at the mercy of a more senior employee's preference until they are done... So I typically am force fed some politically charged news station I don't care for or endless sports highlights.
Note for myself, I really need to re-start my stretching routines again, my legs ache!
Also, random photo of my offspring from last week!
Saturday: Group "Farewell Run" for Erin (Running Ruminations) ~ 12.5 miles (for me)
This run was probably the funnest run I've done in awhile. The weather was chilly and snowing.. a lot! There was no expectation of pace or time we were trying to hit. It was relaxing and slightly challenging as I haven't done much running outside lately nor run double digit miles in over a month. Our group kept growing in size and I got to met several new people... and did I mention I PR'd in high fives?
I GOT 70!!
I won't forget the run or the people! I hope to have more weather gifted fun runs in the future!
Sunday: Recovery run. I meant to just go 6-7 miles or 1 hour. And again, I forgot to look ahead of time where I should turn around and ended up going about 7.5 miles. If you asked me, I would say I was doing about 9 minute + miles, but turns out it was about 8:15.. So not as slow as I wanted.

Looking back, I've amped up my miles a little faster than I wanted and hit 50 miles last week.. Keep me out of injury jail people! I'm going to try to tone it down a little this week.
Monday: Pint Night at Fleet Feet in Lincoln Square. Total miles about 6.5.
Details: Most of it is being censored out for this blog. But we had a lot of fun, and our ability to consume more wurst jokes looked like this:
FIN
Selfie alert! Nicely done...
ReplyDeleteGood miles this past week too. Lakeshore path is looking good, and it looks like it was a great turnout for the group fun run. Holy high fives!
Its been so challenging for me to get outside and run every day. I'm sick of winter/need access to a treadmill! I can't believe you passed 70 people out running on Saturday too, us Chicago runners are hardcore!
ReplyDeleteWhat happens at Pint Night stays at Pint Night. And all over Twitter.
ReplyDelete70 high fives!! You deserve the goldest of stars. Not gonna lie, I'm surprised you even saw 70 people, let alone received 70 high fives.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine WHY you would censor our conversation from Monday night????
