This week was not a bad one but not as great as I hoped it would be. The highlight was the 5 mile long run that I got in on Saturday. I was able to keep the pace under 12 minute miles, which is a little fast but comfortable for me. The 3-4 mile section included an steep climb up to a road that slowed me down for a stretch but overall it was a great workout.
I have already posted about my speed workout on Wednesday. I was happy to knock out that workout, but as I am writing this the Thursday after Christmas, I am embarrassed that I missed it due to the holiday this week. I will be making it up tonight, hopefully the change in my schedule won’t result in any problems. This means I will be doing intervals tonight, then cross training Friday then a long run on Saturday. I will be upping the long run this time to 6 miles.
The run along the Old MillsTrail in Charlottesville is awesome. I love the trail. I usually run this at least once a week. Besides there, there is a good amount of areas to run along the Downtown area.
