Since my last post its been more of the same other than the weather. I guess my “summers over” declaration was a little premature.
Over the weekend I got in a long-ish bike ride on Saturday & a truly long run on Sunday. I managed to get 15 miles in on Sunday and hold just over an eight minute mile pace. It felt surprisingly well start to finish, I figured this was a good opportunity to try my first legendary Sara Sitter ice bath. One word sums it up…COLD. It must have done something because on Monday (an off day) I felt pretty good.
Also on Sunday was a birthday brunch for Bo. It was the usual suspects & a couple new faces. Its amazing to see how quickly Laneys growing.
Tuesday evening I was back to my running shoes. My plan was 6 miles holding a 7:30 pace. It didn’t go exactly as planned. At the half way mark I was about two and a half minutes ahead of pace. In the end I finished at 42:27. The average pace was 7:05/mile. Over time I want to get more consistent at sticking at a 7:30 pace.
On the “oops I’m supposed to be doing” front…my plan was to start Masters Swimming this week. I keep coming up with excuses not to for the simple reason I’m totally intimidated. There I said it.
