Nice weekly mileage and nice back-to-back two-a-days this weekend!
Wow, looks like a wonderful week. Definitely looks like a rest day is in order too! 🙂
Massage – do it, you deserve it!
I am so jealous of the city you run in..and all that outside running!
When are you going back outdoors? 😉
I am not only envious of your energy, but your time to run all these amazing runs! You go lady! You are an inspiration!!!
Thanks! 🙂 I have been getting up early to fit all the miles in so I can still be social in the evening. I hope I don’t crash!
nice work~!
DAMN, speedy!!!! You rocked this week! Congratulations on the killer 5K!
Congrats on your PR! I think the 5k race picture should say “to infinity and beyond!”
Sometimes I see that you’ve noted our runs as easy and think that yeah, I can see that because it’s a short distance at an easy pace, but then I see that you also find things like a 12 mile run at a 9:30 pace to also be “easy” and I just marvel at that! I’d so love to get to that point someday.
Also, I love that you’re FLYING in your race pic from yesterday! That’s so awesome!
Somedays runs just feel so easy! Sometimes a 11:00+ pace kills me though! You’ll get to those easy runs, I know it!
Thanks! 🙂
What a great week! So many fun faces, places, and races 🙂 Okay, that was cheesy. I’ll stop now.
I like it when you’re cheesy 🙂
