Not too bad of a week. I plan to do another long run tomorrow morning — hooray for two weeks of vacation!
Two items of note this week. The first is that on Tuesday, I ran outside and enjoyed the Christmas lights in my neighborhood. I’ve been doing a 5/2 run/walk a lot lately, mainly because it’s super manageable. But on Tuesday, I decided to stretch things out by running for 12 minutes then walking for 2 minutes. (Basically, just skipping every other walk interval.) I did that three times and it felt good.
(Hey, for the ‘burbs in south Texas, this IS pretty.)
Yesterday, I explored a new neighborhood trail nearby, made possible by the recent addition of a connector between two existing trails. I use the word “trail” even though it’s actually concrete, but they run along bayous and through trees instead of right along the road. It was awesome! At just a hair short of 5 miles, it is the perfect new route for a ~1 hour run.
