8 Runs, 0 Days Off
3 Rock Climbing Days
1 Lift Session
What a great week! I kicked off the week with my last day spent with some of my favorite guys - Nick and Matt - which included a rock climbing session plus some yummy dinner in Palo Alto. The rest of the week was spent catching up on sleep, running a lot, and working and climbing more. Coach T-Bone's plan for the week was somewhat daunting, but I managed to hit all the pace and mileage goals without a hitch! Peter is gone in China for this week and next, so I figured I would take advantage of the free time by knocking out some solid miles and also taking some time to reflect.
I am in such a good place right now.
My training is going really well and I finally have friends to share the miles with. I've created a solid crew to run with in the mornings (which is surprisingly a much more difficult feat than it sounds since Californians loooove to sleep in and run in the afternoon). I've gained back the divorce weight that I lost during the roughest weeks and I look healthy again!
The first half of this year was one of the toughest moments of my life, but so far the second half is shaping up to be pretty fan-freaking-tastic. I'm so excited to toe the line at Chicago in just five weeks. It's such a privilege to be able to toe the line with so many professional runners and then also so many of my great friends.
