ATP Week 9

So the weather was fairly cool all week. But my motivation? Right out the window. Last weeks' workouts:

Monday: GST 800
Tuesday: 7 Miles
Wednesday: GST 800 (done by myself after work, FML)
Thursday: 5 Miles
Friday: OFF
Saturday: 15 Mile LSD
Sunday: 5 Miles

So I kind of accidentally took a rest week. I guess I needed it, not sure. Time just seemed to get away with me and I had trouble getting out there. Wednesday's workout was hard since it was a GST, but also because the smoke from the wildfires had started to invade Houston. I'm very sensitive to smoke, so the workout left me coughing all night hence my lack of running on Thursday. By Saturday, I really had no excuses for skipping my long run. And I'm glad I didn't. 15 miles was awesome! It was hilly (which hurt my not-trained-on-hills legs), but we kept a great pace and it wasn't miserably hot outside. A great run to motivate me for the week to come!
