training isn't supposed to be easy!

last week - (4/1-4/6) 

i ran twice. :/ busy, busy, busy. :/  i ran 8 miles on tuesday - too fast-  and felt it the next day! and then saturday i ran 14 on a challenging trail and felt it for the next two days! i have not been on a trail long run in 5.5 months!! what was i thinking?! my back was sore from the camelback. i really need to ease back into this over the next 11 weeks in order to be prepared for the 50k!

this week -

monday - i ran 5 miles. legs felt somewhat heavy still. i am assuming that is from the long run on the hilly, rocky, rooty trail.

tuesday - 3 quick miles before dinner.

wednesday - 6 miles on the greenway with the kids. 2 biked and one ran with me! took advantage of a beautiful warm 82 degree sunny spring day!

friday - 4 miles - 1 mile of it was hill repeats. not easy.

saturday - 12 miles on the greenway. perfect temps and weather! i ran average 10 min pace and finished in great time. have not done that in forever! it felt great! and now i am wiped!
