Twas the week when my main objective was to take it easy, give my legs a chance to freshen up and get my mind in the game.
Twas my last week before training for the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon kicks off.
Historically, I have a hard time doing things like taking it easy but thanks to a couple friends and early morning wake-ups, I was able to do just that.
Monday's early-morning run downtown
Highlight: A runch in surprisingly mild conditions. The temp was in the 70s but there was a cool breeze and seemingly no humidity. I ended up tacking on an extra mile (three instead of four) to avoid the geese on the greenway and managed negative splits. I went back to work on Cloud 9.Lowlight: I was tired and not necessarily feeling my long run on Friday. I felt like I was forcing a pace that would normally be easy. Thankfully, though, I had company from my BRF. I ran two miles solo and then met her for another 5. Even though we had to take cover in the YMCA from a lightning storm, thus running on the treadmill, we still managed a good conversation.
