Almost 31 miles for the week where we were out of town starting Wednesday afternoon... sounds good to me! As you can see, I sort of front loaded my week, knowing we would be up in Mammoth and not wanting to have to force runs when we were maxing and relaxing with friends. None of the runs were anything to write home about, but they were consistent and that's what matters. If I run after work I can get in a mile or two extra, otherwise if I'm running before work I'm still hovering right around the 5 mile mark (due to the time constraints of when I am waking up vs. when I have to leave for work). I'd say I have noticed my paces getting slightly faster, which is always encouraging, especially when it isn't feeling harder.

On Sunday I ran the half marathon distance for the first time since October! I had to pick the hubby up from the airport, so decided I'd go down to San Diego about two hours early to get in some miles. Everything seemed to align (the body felt great, the weather was wonderful, etc), so I made it happen. I'm pretty proud of myself, especially after coming back from not being able to run with my hip being tweaked in October. Slowly but surely I've built my distance back up and I'm stoked with what my body is able to accomplish. I might not be where I've been in the past (I mean, I have done a 100-miler for goodness sakes), but I'll take what I can get. My midweek runs were all fine (nothing too special to write home about), but by the time I got to Saturday my body felt a bit rundown and fatigued. Next week the hubby, pup and I will be heading to Mammoth for a long weekend, so I will dial back my miles and let the body get some rest and recovery.

I only had to work three days this week, which meant more time for running - YAY! The hubby was back in Michigan for our oldest nephew's high school graduation starting Wednesday morning, so my Wednesday run was after work (that's what happens when he has to be at the airport at 5am... you miss your window for pre-work running). Otherwise all of my runs felt surprisingly strong. We will be heading up to Mammoth for a long weekend of camping in a couple weeks, so I will probably dial back the mileage that week, but in the meantime it'll be standard runs and usual mileage. LET'S GET IT!
