Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re probably right!

Easy miles on the trails! I’ve unknowingly lived near the trails that I ran today since elementary school and it was fun to explore them! Mostly grass trails but I enjoyed the sections of dirt trails when they appeared in the woods. I can tell how much running trails is helping with overall balance and stability, especially in my ankles, and it’s nice that the softer surface gives my legs some respite from the hard pavement of the roads. I’m enjoying getting back into some road workouts but keeping my easy days fun with the trail runs!

A very happy week of miles and the perfect running weather to close out the week 🤗 this week was a stark improvement over the last several since having covid. It’s taken 7 weeks to feel more like myself and while I’m not totally back yet, I think I’ve officially entered the “this is no longer so much covid as it is fitness” category; obviously getting sick caused the fitness to decline in the first place but the first thing to go when untrained is that top-end speed. I did my first little workout this week and recovered really well so I think it’s time to add a little more this week and try to work on bringing some of the speed back! I’m approaching things with cautious optimism, but grateful to be making progress and feeling the excitement for running and even racing return again ❤️

Completed my workout from start to finish this week in tougher conditions and didn’t have to bail out like last week so that’s a huge win. I did an effort-based, time-based workout today, 10x1 minute hard with 1 minute easy running between each interval. I was a bit too ambitious last week on the track trying to hop back into pace work and today’s effort-based work helped take the pressure off and focus on how I felt in each interval vs being a slave to my watch - the effort changed based on going uphill vs downhill, headwind vs tailwind, and even shade vs no shade.
