Week's Summary
This was a pretty solid week's worth of training. I wasn't downtown all weekend and the weather was reasonably nice so that meant I could get in a few extra miles.
I also actually did a speed workout on Tuesday, which is something that I should do, but don't always do. Speed workouts are always "work" and I tend to avoid them over going for a medium-paced long run, which is probably my favorite workout.
Saturday's long run went better than expected. I wasn't sure what I had or what I was going to be able to do but I started off aggressive and ran until I couldn't hold the pace anymore. Luckily, once I faded I was only about a mile from home so I could cool down.
I really sort of wish the weather would remain like this year-round. It is just an enjoyable time of year to run.
