Weekday Recap - Between Session Hodge Podge

Monday
Distance - 4 + 2 easy
Pace - 9:34 and not tracked

We crashed the Alpharetta kick off event, because, hey, it took our Monday afternoon run bud! :) (Michele).  This was a FAB run.  I for sure 'brought it.'  Funny how that happens: 3.1 on a race day .. nah, don't feel like it.  Random Monday afternoon .. GO, Judy, go!  ???????? LOL.  But happy to welcome Beast Judy whenever she decides to present herself. :)

Kyle needed extra miles to hit 100 for the month, so we chatted through another 2 miles at the end.

Tuesday
Distance - 4 miles
Pace - 10:00

Another awesome run!  Oh boy, do I love this location.  Its so CUTE!  Shops, and lawns, and Greenway.  <3 it!

This could be trouble though!  The smell was intoxicating the ENTIRE time. ;)

The run itself was combined with a Big Peach event.  Oh lordy.  Amy said she didn't need much from us, so to just mingle with as many participants as possible.   There were pace markers for heading out (like a race); that was nice.  I **think** I put myself in the 10s, but by the look of how many guys I started with, I knew the start would be faster than that.  But Amy said mingle, so mingle I did.  And ran out 2 miles at 9.  The return was probably 10-12, haha, where I finally had to say good bye to new speed demon friends. :) Fortunately for me, they were petering out, too.  I suppose the 9s were not intentional for them either.  Grand standing each other .. gotta love it.  I caught them back up on the final hill, where a good bit of them were now walking.

But on the whole, both this crew, and the bulk of runners that ran Alpharetta were REALLY solid.  If I had joined ATC this year, I'd be a little nervous!! I'll know more for sure, though, when training starts, and we get to see who were our participants, and who just run out of Big Peach when it hosts an event.  I can't IMAGINE there really were NO 10s.  If that's the case, I will be run leading at pretty much a PUSH pace all session. (For sure not a bad thing, but skeptical that this will be the case).  Tune in next week to find out. LOL.

Oh and .. new Mizunos.  5lb races.  Will have to report back after I've worn them.  Hopefully, I can wear them to Singleton 5K in a couple of weeks.

Wednesday


Distance - 4 miles
Pace - 2-1s @ whatever she wanted. :)

I am getting so much good mileage out of this 'spring break ready' phase!  We went to Bells Park and ran and walked for 4 miles.  She is for sure working it!  And I got a little closer to 100.


Thursday

Ugh .. she said this was what I had to do with her.  Meh.  I dislike cleanses.  They work in the moment, but the hunger is so distracting, that I turn into a bump on a log.  I did get the scale to be nice to me Friday morning, so maybe I'll get through this.  But oh man, am I not happy about it!

Friday

Are we there yet??  Oh.  We haven't left yet?  Boo.

Cleanse Day 2 is a smidge easier.  I know I have to do this for my girl, so it makes it more important that I don't give up.  I also plan to go ahead and start back up my crunches at lunches for April.  Other than that, it will be a very full day today, trying to leave no ends untied at work, and then preparing to launch tonight!  Which is what I'd better gooooOOOOooo do!  TTFN. :)
