07-27-2013

back to santa monica for a run with lily today.
i really worked at putting in more miles this week because we're leaving on the cruise.
so, here's the breakdown from this past week:
sunday 7/21: 15.08 hilly miles with lily and pascale in santa monica
monday 7/22: 3 flat miles with the CHS XC team
tuesday 7/23: 18.2 relatively flat miles with pascale down the riverbed, liberty park side
wednesday 7/24: 5 relatively flat miles with andrew in cerritos
thursday 7/25: day off!
friday 7/26: 14 relatively flat miles with pascale down the riverbed, cerritos regional park side
saturday 7/27: 18.02 hilly miles with lily in santa monica through the rustic canyon trail

total: a little over 73 miles
i have NEVER, ever, EVER run this much in one week in my entire life.  yesterday was really hard.  i didn't feel 'good' until after the first 7 miles...legs were not as rested as i had hoped for with one day off.
today was tough, because it was the second day in a row of higher mileage.  the first half (and then some of today's run was UPhill.  legs were definitely fatigued.  last 3 miles were better since it was moderately DOWNhill and flat for most of it.  finished strong, at least.
an ice bath when i got home has really helped.  thank goodness! why do i forget about them sometimes??  probably because it's so cold to do.  =p
