my first over-40 week!

a rather tough week. i'm a little sore right now, but nothing too serious. thankfully, i'm not running today!

yesterday i did 16ish miles (i think it may have been like 15.6, but it was on trails with some big hills, which made it infinitely harder for me, so i'm going to say close enough!). i did the first 12.5 (at least) with a group - 2 older guys and a woman training for a triathlon. the second 3.1 was with josh -- i had to make him run behind me because otherwise i get panicked that he will subconsciously revert to an 8:00 pace and i will die. however, amazingly enough, he ran out of steam towards the end. i'm not going to make fun of him though b/c i think he did 20 miles.

the rest of the week:

friday: 4.2 mi / 9:20 pace for 3 miles, then alternating bursts of 7:30 - 8:00 pace and jogging intervals

saturday: 5.0 mi / 47:30

sunday: 15.6 mi / alas, i'm really not sure how long it took. probably 9:30ish miles

weekly total: 42.35 miles. woohoo!
