- This is quite the eye-opener to how many hours I'm spending training. No wonder I'm freaking tired.
- My speedwork run on Thursday felt so hard. I ran to the track and slogged through the repeats while a football team was hosting practice. I'm going to blame the heat and humidity (even though it wasn't that bad out) for my inability to run faster than a 8min/mile pace.
- I got to meet a lot of new people at Venus de Miles on Sunday and biked with Amy this week. Yay for meeting up with people!
- I saw two weasels last week! One last Sunday (not actually part of this training week) on my bike ride in Iowa and one on my ride Monday night. The ones I saw were both really dark brown and I wonder if maybe they weren't weasels but martens. I may never know.
