Another solid week with the only stumble being a missed run on Thursday. Was just too exhausted from work to even get out the door. Temps are definitely on the upswing & I'm hoping to start adding some cycling back into the mix. Trails have mostly been off limits due to saturation levels, so hoping some warmer weather will at least help them dry out faster.
Both quality runs went great this week. Nailed my pacing pretty well for the tempo run & ran negative splits for the long run. Did both runs on the Legacy Trail to get a break from the roadways. A buddy of mine was in a pretty close call last week out on the bypass, so some traffic free running was welcome.
Finally got time to watch Outside Voices this weekend. Short movie shot entirely in black & white, which you no longer notice about 2 minutes into the film. It's a quick glimpse into the life of Jenn Shelton & was very well done. It really gives a window into the lifestyles of an ultra runner. It also makes you want to go live out of a van & spend your days running through the mountains. If you're into running this is a must see.
I also ran into a bit of luck this week. Last year I lost a hubcap on my car while on vacation. During my Friday easy run I found a perfect match on the side of the road. Who said running doesn't pay off?
Even the roadside views can be nice
