Back To The Grind

It’s Monday which means the start of another running week. This week I may get over 60 miles. It will be close depending on how far my workout run takes me tomorrow. I’m pretty sure it will be over 60 though.

I started it off with an 8+ mile easy run today. It was 100°F outside but I honestly don’t really notice the temperature anymore. It’s kinda crazy. Two years ago you would have never seen me out if it was above 90…..now 100+ is just another day. It’s amazing how our bodies can adapt.

I felt good out there today. I picked it up after mile 8 because there was someone a little ways in front of me and I saw an opportunity to pass coming. I picked up the pace and made the pass at the perfect time. From there I just kept the pace going. It felt good. I didn’t realize I had that gear at the time but it was pretty easy. Maybe I need to pick it up a little more often.
