Got up with the boys so Megan could sleep. Took the boys to Home Depot to buy flowers for Megan and we went to the grocery store. Took a nap. Worked in the yard for a while. Got the run in late, but still wanted to do my long run workout even after the bike race yesterday. It was warm but dry and really just beautiful for Mothers' Day. I figured I would be somewhat slow with the warmer weather and very tired legs, but things went quite well. I started around 6:50 maybe for the first mile and then mostly worked in the 6:40 range with the last two miles around 6:36-6:39.
30' up/30' down.
This was pretty solid at the end of a 21-hour training week. I am unsure of when the last time I went over 20 hours. Maybe in 2018 or 2019 in the summer? It was an odd week of stress workouts and recovery runs mostly. Monday I did a 100 miler. Tuesday 2 x recovery runs. Wednesday was a midweek workout and a recovery run. Thursday was a recovery run and a 3+ hour ride with a steady 100' portion. Single easy run on Friday. Bike race Saturday and long run/workout on Sunday. I will definitely need very easy recovery on Monday and lighter than usual efforts other than my regularly scheduled workouts.
