A new week! My running buddy has some major taper miles this week…so we shall see how the miles go! My next pacing event is this coming weekend – so I will be cutting back just a little as well.
These next few weeks are going to fly by and Hospital Hill is going to be here before I know it! While this mini-training cycle is set for the HH weekend, my 50-mile training cycle has started as well! The miles are super low at this point, so I will jump right in the first full week of June 🙂
Weekly Workouts
Monday- A little tired from the busy weekend, but we made some miles happen!
Tuesday- Well, morning thunderstorms in the area kept me home before work…so I headed out for an early lunch run.
The heat is here and here to stay…so I need to remember to keep water with me at all times and keep a snack in case I am not feeling great in the heat. Phew…not loving the humidity!
Wednesday- Another morning run missed…but not an unproductive morning! I made my lunch, I cleaned the dishes,…and I played on my phone 🙂
For lunch, I hit the trails again!…but the weather had to make it interesting. I changed and got ready to head out…and a random thunderstorm popped up around 10-15 miles away, and of course, is heading right for us. I waited out the storm and was finally able to go for a run over an hour later than I wanted to…
But it was all worth it! The breeze was cool, otherwise it was a balmy, sunny 75 degree run – which I can’t poopoo on because unless I am running at 5:30am, I may not have similar temps in the mid-afternoon for a LONG time.
Thursday- Spring time brings rain…and lots of it in this area! We are expecting more rain in the coming hours and days – thus the gloomy afternoon run. While the temps were reasonable in the 60s, the humidity left more to be desired. I’ll take what I can get!
Friday- While I should have ventured out in the morning, I decided instead to do the dishes and laundry… #momlife
Rather, I dodged between rain events to get in a quick afternoon run…or at least I thought I was dodging them! I got caught in sprinkles around mile 3.5 and rain a little over mile 4… Whatever, I survived getting a little wet!
Saturday- The Bill Snyder Highway Half was a wet one for sure! But it was the perfect temp for the runners! Great day!
Sunday- Little man and I decided to get out for a walk…nothing exciting since I slept in and took it EASY today.
Weekly Miles : 40 miles
933 / 2,016 miles in 2016
Next Week’s Projected Workouts
I am 2 weeks out from Hospital Hill weekend!! I am getting nervous for those crazy hills – since I haven’t had my training maxing out due to my thyroid stuff, I hope that I can get in some speed or hill workouts this coming week!
I should be starting my 50M training plan this week…but I am really just going to play it by ear…I am going to keep my base going for the next few weeks with longer weekend training runs. Exciting!!

Great miles for the week! You are well on your way to hit that yearly mileage. I tried last year and did not come even close so I am not even trying this year. I feel like not setting that goal I will not get disappointed in myself when I do not reach it…haha.

I made it to 1700 solo miles last year…and I took quite a bit of time off during the summer. I have some big races this fall, I am hoping those keep me on track!
