Easy run with 4 strides followed by 30 minutes in the sauna (20,10) at 190ish. I've averaged 51 mpw over the last 5 weeks, even with taking things a bit easier to end the year I'll still hit 200 for he month and I'll be over 2000 for the year on Saturday. Then I should be ready to go average 50-55 for January.

Am: Looking like a down week in terms of mileage. Hilly long run with some pickups but nothing very fast. 10/10 sunrise.

Pm: 2x15 minute sauna with my dad. Feels amazing. This sauna might actually match all my hopes and dreams.
