Training Week May 31st - June 6th

Sunday, May 31st: I broke my run into two parts: half with NPR and half with Matty Maggiacomo. It was a pretty good run and the second half with the Peloton app went faster and I felt like I could have ran more, but held it to the 8ish I planned. I hope to increase the mileage a little bit but I'm still not hitting my 20-21 per week and am looking to keep uninjured and happy with running so I'll have a little grace with this. Monday, June 1st: Holy moly, June 1st. It is a rest day so I just did some yoga in the slowly becoming new gym area in the basement. Tuesday, June 2nd: I got my butt up and did 4.13 miles this AM and felt good. I enjoy the AM running and it is nice that I don't have to wake up insanely early to get a run in right now (remember 5am OT - how and why the F was that a thing?!?). I also headed back towards Lake Ave which I haven't set foot in (literally I mean) since March. It was the same as I expected it would be. Wednesday, June 3rd: I am still trying to do the AM shift but, wow, something to consider is I am not good on a empty stomach. I think I can push my way through a run because it is familiar and, most of the time, not the same hard work as the spinning, but this class killed me. I literally went to like a 20 resistance at one point and was like do I stop? I stayed in the ride but it was a pitiful output. I did bookmark it to try again one day soon here. Thursday, June 4th: I wanted to get out after the long work day and did just over a 5K. I felt good, better than I expected after working which I think is one, it being busy but having help there and two, getting a little more used to being back at that. Friday, June 5th: A weird day for work and, for some reason, I decided to try and do some of a speed workout and ran a little over 5 miles. I HAD wanted to do something that was clearly more of a speed work out (HIIT or tempo) but figured I may not have the energy for that. This felt pretty good and hard, but not super hard. Saturday, June 6th: A SUPER sweaty 30 minute ride. The class itself was so-so actually but I worked in it (almost PR) and it was warm enough that I felt like I went swimming so there's that. I felt a little bit better about the bike after the disaster on Wednesday.
