Tuesday:
The sunrise was gorgeous on the way to the track! (Don’t worry, I was in the passenger seat…not driving.)
Track Tuesday was the return of the Brick Workout. It’s all about running fast on tired legs…long distance at a slow pace, medium distance at a medium pace, short distance at a fast pace.
Note: For the next few weeks I’m doing “trackish” speed work, because I’m training for a trail ultra and I’ve learned to not push my speed workouts year round. I’m running based on effort and less on goal split times.
4 mile warmup plus strides
2 x 1600m (1 minute recovery)
2 x 800m (400m recovery jog)
2 x 400m (400m recovery jog)
1 mile cool down
I can’t let a Tuesday pass without a Taco Tuesday joke!
I am addicted to my fruit infuser water bottle. My current favorite is lemons with a drop or two of liquid stevia, because I have to trick myself into drinking water by making it taste like lemonade.
Our dinner was a kitchen sink dinner. It didn’t make a lot of sense, but it’s what I was craving.
Wednesday:
I met up with some friends at Percy Warner Park for a trail/road combo run. It was super hot and humid, but we had a blast! Apparently my crazy hair and I were pumped to take a finish photo! Oh, and logged another 1,050ft of gain.
I devoured this pineapple when I got home.
Not only do I love their mango margaritas, I love the Rosepepper Cantina in Nashville for their hilarious signs.
Tequila…yay or nay? I like it in a frozen fruity drink, but can’t do it straight.
Do you do speed work year round or do you take some time off? I’ve learned that I can’t push it year round. I still do light speed work, but the downtime is good for me.
This is big debate in our house. Do you consider fruit healthy? I could live off of fruit alone. My husband tries to limit the sugar.
