Monday I did a shake out run because Sunday was a bust. It felt good going out and no itching like crazy!
Wednesday was crazy. I personally cannot believe I ran these splits so MAYBE my polar doesn’t like where I was running? It felt weird because I was doing a 2k loop of rolling hills with headwind because I was taken up to the middle of nowhere….8k with 3k progression in 48 with my splits: 6:11, 5:52, 6:13, [5:53, 5:50, 5:50], 6:16, 6:27. I could not believe I did that with hills! I’ve been kind of out of it the last few months so nailing my recent runs feels good!
Thursday: 35 mins of cycling while I cheered on my recruits as they ran! Then 500m easy run (pacing), leg lifts and calf raises at 70-80lbs.
Then 3hrs at a the One of a Kind Show… 3hrs for one loop! I of course bought a ton of pretty things…. shop local right? ;) haha.
Then Sunday, I did 15k! My longest run since the Scotiabank half marathon! I’m just so amazed at myself considering how many runs I’ve missed or flopped in the last two months, I really cannot believe that I ran it. Also, I managed to pick up one of my Nike 15k recruits along the way haha. He made me run up a flight of stairs so I’m reevaluating our friendship as I type this…LOL
Sometimes I pick up runners/recruits along the way! #nrc

Patty @ Reach Your Peak
Way to go on the 15k! I have to run that next week…kinda nervous for it! Aren’t the runs where you surprise yourself with pace the best? :)
Carmy
Good luck next week! :D you’ll LOVE it. I feel like 15k is the perfect distance. Not too short or too long!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home
Great week of running! 15k is a great distance–far enough that you have to pace yourself, but you can push it a bit. I haven’t run for 2 days and I’m a little antsy…
Hailey
Nice progression and long run! It’s always a confidence booster to run a workout well with hills :)
Carmy
right? I thought my watch was lying to me! I emailed my coach saying “so this MIGHT be wrong….” haha
Maddie @ Dixie runs
Great week! Very fast!!!
GiselleR @ Diary of an ExSloth
Congrats on nailing your runs and on the 15k! My week was pretty lame in comparison, mostly because I was sick and missed/bombed all my workouts. Hopefully this week goes better!
Carmy
but hey, you made some amazing looking food according to your blog! I made next to nothing. Ramen and eggs hahahaha
jill conyers
My week is awesome! I missed strength training yesterday but still awesome.

Sounds like a great week! I am struggling not running for a month due to a shoulder injury :(
Carmy
hoping your shoulder gets better asap!
Sandra Laflamme
You had a great week and looks like a nice 15K in the sun! My week so far has been great, back to running outside, this time on a trail! and then an awesome pool workout today!
