Last week’s workouts were kept mostly easy in anticipation of the Seacoast Half Marathon. It’s crazy that it’s been two years since I did a half (and 5 years since I ran this race) when for years the 13.1 distance was my jam. I’m rusty on racing (and rusty in racing in general) those so it was almost like I was running my first ever half all over again.

#PraiseBe for daylight savings time! I’m loving the lighter mornings (even if it is only temporary). It was extra brighter thanks to being able to meet up with Kailey. Once again, I forgot how to dress for these weird in between conditions. It was raining with a real feel of upper 30s so I dressed in capris, short sleeve shirt and rain jacket. I was too hot! Gah.
A highlight of the run was when a 20 something year old girl reminded us to vote today. You betcha we did!

Eccentric pull ups
Banded pull ups
Rope pull and reach
Rope row w/ reverse lunge
Walking lunges

Thursday
5 mile run, 8:40 avg/pace
I don’t know if it was our conversations or our legs were feeling fresh and light, but Kyle and I picked up the pace during the middle miles. It felt good so we went with it.
Notice the cat in the picture post run? It was pitch black out and I didn’t know the friendly neighborhood cat was around until I felt something rubbing against my leg just as my phone took the pic. My first thought was, “What is Kyle rubbing against my leg?” Lol!
Morning Flow Yoga
Friday
Rest Day!
Saturday
3 miles, 9:20 avg pace
It was a downright miserably cold Saturday. Windy and ridiculous amounts of rain made me put off doing a shake out run until mid morning. But like always, once I was out there, it was fine. But I’m very glad I wasn’t running longer than a few miles.
Sunday
13.3 miles, 8:26 avg pace
I’ll have a full recap coming later this week with my feelings about that!
How was your week in workouts?
