One month down!! This week’s recap is a little late as I was out of town celebrating America this weekend 🙂
Happy birthday, U.S.A!
Here’s how the last of June went down:
Monday, June 26th–8 miles: 2 miles WU; 2 miles uphill, 2 miles downhill @7:40 pace; 2 miles CD
Normally, I look forward to tempo runs, but because I knew this would involve hills, I was a bit nervous. And yep, it was hard.
Tuesday, June 27th–Core strengthening and stretching
Did my MYRTLES, foam rolled, and stretched. I usually do some sort of core work and foam rolling every day, but I up the ante on cross training days that I don’t bike.
Wednesday, June 28th–7 miles: Ladder 800, 1000, 1200, 1000, 800 @6:40 pace
Noticing a theme? lol!! #alwayshard
Thursday, June 29th–5 easy miles @9:24/mile
I met up with my BQ training buddy and cranked out an easy 5 miler.
Friday, June 30th–Rest Day
We traveled down south to my hometown for the weekend 🙂
Saturday, July 1st–14 Long Run Miles @9:25/mile
This was hard, again. Our little town is super small so trying to map out a route pretty much meant running the perimeter of the city, lol! It was nice to have my husband along for company though, and we took a pic in front of our high school where we both met ❤
Sunday, July 2nd–Rest Day
Glorious rest.
______________________
I finished June with 125 miles and the week with 34 miles. I was surprised to see the mileage over 100 as I know I’m running, but it doesn’t feel like I’m running that much. But, I am! Lol!
The workouts have been tough and I’ve been working hard trying to nail them. I know my coach has a purpose for each run and I love testing myself, but holy cow, I’ve never ran so fast in my life. It’s exhausting, jaja!!! July is going to be insane as there is a whole lot of life happening. It’ll be fun trying to squeeze everything in, lol!!
–Are summers busy for you?
–Do you like running fast?
–How was your June running month?
–When is the last time you ran in your hometown? Is it a big or small town?
