Monday - Monday was Monday.  Nothing good ever happened on a Monday.

Tuesday - Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day!  70 degrees with a cool breeze.  Loved every single step of an easy 4-mile run.

Wednesday - Another gorgeous day outside, and my dogs deserved to enjoy it too.  Leisurely 1.5 mile walk with them at the park.

Thursday - Pretty good track session!  But I'm thinking I may have to move my intervals to the treadmill for a little while.  Unless I want to dodge high school football players and/or the band practicing, I have to wait until after 6:00 pm to go to the track.  I like to be done and showered by 6:00 pm.

Friday - Shitty day at work.  Beer trumped run.  I so wish I could be one of those people who are all, "Oh golly gee, I'm so stressed.  I can't wait to go for a run."  Nope.  Not me.  I'm more, "Fuck this.  I need a drink."

Saturday - I waited until it was really warm to get out there and then probably pushed the pace a little too hard.  I stopped for a second to catch my breath at 2.5 and then just never picked the pace back up.

Sunday - Sunday just sucked.  Summer came back for what I hope was her last visit.  It was hot.  It was humid.  It was downright miserable.  I just couldn't stay out of my head.  By the end of those six miles I had convinced myself that I suck at running and have no business even trying to do it.  I know that was just Summer talking, but I'm beginning to think she might be right!

PFTW:
Monday:  Strength (One day I might actually do one of these)
Tuesday:  5 easy
Wednesday:  4 x 400 + strength
Thursday:  Rest
Friday:  4 tempo
Saturday:  Rest/easy XT
Sunday:  7

This week will probably get shifted around a bit, too, because I have appointments Monday and Tuesday afternoons, but I'll figure it out!  I haven't missed a run in this training plan yet, and I want to keep that streak going!
