Week 14.

Another solid week done, although for some reason, I was extremely tired this week.  It could be because I'm recovering from a cold.

But here goes!

Monday:
AM: 6M on treadmill.  Nothing special.
Lunch:  Put in a solid leg work out, since half marathon is almost around the corner and going full speed up Harlem Hill, Middle Hill and Cat Hill twice is gonna hurt!!
PM:  Spin Class

Tuesday:
AM:  Workout said spin, but did not want to spin, so I illegally ran 4Ms.  Easy, though.
PM:  Faster Finish Week 1.  This was 8 min of Strawberry Hill Repeats followed by 2 min break, times three.  The repeats were to be easy repeat, followed by hard repeat.  Since they were so short, I recorded a PR.  6:11 pace going up. 

Wednesday:
AM:  This day was extremely icy.  It ran the night before, then the temperature sank to below zero.  It was super black ice along the roads, which forced me to run on Bridle Path.  I am not used to running on squishy dirt, and I swear this severely added to my fatigue. 
Lunch:  Pilates

Thursday:
AM:  Cat Hill Repeat.  It was 8 repeats with a twist.  Instead of hard up, easy down, it was hard up, hard down, then easy up, easy down.  It was strangely hard, probably because I didn't get to take a break after the hard up.  Some random dude actually cheered me on.  I must have sounded awful or something (._.)
These COULD be faster, but I say it's good enough right now.  At least they were all around 10K pace going up.
PM:  Pilates

Friday: 
PM:  TRX.  OK, this class is fun, but it's damaging to my long run.  I put too much energy into this class that I didn't get enough muscular rest before I went on the Saturday run.  Come to think about it, it's barely a 12 hour rest.  Having had weird bridle path run on Wednesday and Cat Hill on Tuesday, I should've rested.

Saturday:
10M Long Run.  Which shouldn't be this hard...  It was supposed to be relatively easy, with just middle 6M at MP.  It was hard from the get-go, and my legs felt like jelly.   It was super exhausting.

Sunday:
Elliptical...yuck.
