This is the last week of the recovery plan. I’m back to five running days per week. It was a warm week.
Monday: 7 miles. It was a warm one, and it was Memorial Day, so with the expectation of no traffic on the main road, I ran along it and into a different subdivision. 7.02 miles in 59:58 (8:33 min/mile pace).
Tuesday: 5 miles. Ran this one in the subdivision. 5.03 in 43:11 (8:35)
Wednesday: 7 miles + 8 strides. Ran this in East Fork. Since my calendar on my watch and the one in my head isn’t updated, I ended up running 8 miles with no strides. 8.04 miles in 1:10:52 (8:49)
Thursday: 4 miles. Since rain was expected and this is a short run, I stayed in my subdivision. Of course the same asshat that had the off-leash dog a few weeks ago was parked across the sidewalk. 4.13 miles in 34:15 (8:17 min/mile pace).
Friday: 11 miles. I ran this in the township park and the subdivisions next to it. The first mile started slow, but as I got towards the last few miles, my podcast list finished and I switched to music (my AfterShokz Trekz Airs make it easy to use the Google Assistant in my phone to shuffle my “Epic Running Playlist”). As I got to the last few miles I started daydreaming about my next 5k, which will be in that park and started running some very low-8 miles. 11.02 miles in 1:34:16 (8:33 min/mile pace).
That’s it for the week and the month. The week was 35 miles, and the month was just under 128 miles.
