So I think I've adjusted to a "new normal" sense of what a light week of exercise looks like. I decided that I wanted to do a little less this week than what I've grown accustomed to over the past several weeks. And really that means that I still wanted to go for my Monday run: considered stopping after two miles of a loop around Bredesen Park, but figured I should just go the full four miles as prescribed by my training schedule.
It also means that I wanted to go to spin class over lunch on Tuesday. I really love those days - especially into the afternoon and evening, I feel very clean, very healthy.
And, of course, I can't miss my Wednesday team runs if at all possible. It was hills this week, 6-8 repeats up and down the quarter mile at Lock & Dam #1. I wanted to hit all eight. And I really wanted the last four to be stronger than the first. Which they were. Which was awesome.
So, today, finally, is a nice day of rest. Tomorrow will be spinning, again, for that great end-of-the-week calorie burn, followed by fourteen miles with the team on Saturday.
Two days of rest? Yeah. That's a nice, easy week.
Love it.
Monday: 4 miles in about 37 minutes.
Wednesday: 6 miles in about an hour.
Total Mileage: 192 miles.
