Yesterday morning’s training plan called for a 19 mile run
followed by an easy 30 minutes on the bike at the gym. After two really great interval sessions on
the treadmill last week, I was hopeful that we might actually have our first enjoyable
long outdoor run in over a month. Once
we got going, it didn’t take long to figure out that this was not going to be
the magical, reinvigorating run we were hoping for, thanks to the 93% relative humidity and complete lack of a breeze. Marathon training in Florida during the
summer is such a joy! However, we did manage
to make it through 12.25 not-so-speedy miles outside before heading into the air
conditioned comfort of the gym, where we ran for an hour on the treadmill to get
in our last 7 miles.
After a 30 minute cool down on the bike, it was time for my
favorite part of our Sunday routine – breakfast at First Watch! The remainder of my day was spent lying
around watching the Olympics, reading blogs, and meal planning while cuddling
with two adorable puggies.
I think
Sundays are my favorite day of the week.
And since it’s Monday, here’s what’s on tap for the rest of the week:
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Chest,
Triceps & Calves, 12x400m repeats with 400m recovery jogs

As well as a few recipes that will be coming out of my kitchen this
week:
