Monday, August 17th: Since the weekend was less full with activities, I thought why not add in a run? So I did. It was good and also was nice to continue to take advantage of the break in the heat.
Tuesday, August 18th: A semi-speed workout but not entirely. I jumped into the run with Matty Maggiacomo and even the fun runs tends to up the speed a bit even if not focused as a HIIT or interval run. Overall, it was fine and felt good.
Wednesday, August 19th: I guess I'm just going to keep the speed work up. I did a HIIT ride with Robin. It wasn't bad - HIITs actually aren't my favorite because I someitmes feel like there are a little too out of control with the on-off-on-ff so I don't get a groove going, but I guess maybe there is something positive with that as well...?
Thursday, August 20th: I WFH'ed and so my eating was super messed up. I knew going out this run was going to hurt as my stomach was already pretty wonky. And I was right. It wasn't quite as bad as I thought (I was able to get the run done) but it certainly was not fun. I suppose it helped that I knew it was going to be blah so I just focused.
Friday, August 21st: I considered doing nothing and did nothing for a while and then got bored. So I jumped on the bike for a brief (and fun) 15 minute ride to just let off some steam.
Saturday, August 22nd: I am finding that I think I still enjoy a longer run on Saturday instead of Sunday. It, as I write this on a Sunday, makes the weekend feel more like a weekend. Today I can do what I want because yesterday I worked. It was 8 miles and overall not bad until that last two when the temperature began to rise. I needed to keep focus and really went to the basics (counting my steps) to try and forget about the discomfort and the annoyance and frustration that can come with that. It mostly worked and overall was a pretty good run.
