Hello there and happy Monday to ya! Hope you had a marvelous weekend! I am here to recap some miles from last week. I was able to get in 75.8 miles and have lived to tell you all about it!! Things are shaping up great for my upcoming ultra, the Hachie 50 miler. Let’s see how it all went down!
Monday AM- 7.13 miles in the hood, watching the sunrise. Without a doubt the best way to start my work week. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Monday PM- This run was actually at lunch, just getting in my double run day in for the day. 3.21 miles complete with a few speedy strides thrown on in there.
Tuesday AM- 5.2 miles enjoying the lake view and getting some early miles in. Work has been stressful lately so I have been forcing myself to get my early runs in so the work day will go smoother. Sometimes, it is all about that mental, running for sanity’s sake, amiright?!
Tuesday PM- Another 3.21 miles at lunch time, the weather was so incredible. I am so happy it is shorts & tanks weather down in Texas once again. Woot woot.
Wednesday AM- 10.12 miles with the breakfast run club. They had a few easy miles to do then I finished with hills on my own.
Wednesday PM- 4.22 miles in the evening after a long work day. Another stress-relief type of run on double run day.
Thursday- 8.12 miles in the early AM. This was done with some morning run buds. Rolling hills for breakfast.
Friday- 20.3 miles on a Friday!! Friday long runs have really been my jam lately. Thankfully I had Friday off last week so I was able to relax, get some things done around the house and enjoy the day. I even got to have happy hour at my favorite healthy-ish Mexican spot. Quinoa bowl for the win.
Saturday- 10.11 miles in the ‘hood. Everyone seemed to be out and about this weekend because for the most part temperatures were spring perfection.
Sunday- 4.21 miles to hit my numbers for the week. Running on rest day.
And there you have it!
How was your week last week? Training for any upcoming races?
Hachie 50 miler in May, some trail stuff coming up, and then trying to schedule some more races for spring and summer! And all the while still doing my high mileage running. I do have a mountain race coming up also in September! So excited to do something a little different from my usual road racing.

Love seeing your recap posts – motivation.
Total of 64 miles for me – highest mileage ever! I am doing DanMan on April 6th, the marathon distance for the miles and Hachie 50 in May.
Congrats! I will be at DanMan too.
Last week, I took a hiatus from running, but had physical therapy and was wiped out. Monday I ran a mile in 8 minutes twice, which is HUGE for me with a recovering knee surgery. I will attempt it again today. I usually end up limping the following day, because the muscles are not as strong as they were prior to surgery and take time to rebuild. One day I want to be like you when I grow up LOL. Keep us all inspired Chels!
Awesome job, lady! Seriously 8 minute mile is indeed something to be proud of. Keep it up and have a great week!!
Mm that quinoa bowl looks good! I need to eat more avocados. Also nice that you have a “breakfast run club” to keep you company! That sounds fun.
It is great for busting out major work week miles fosho! Love my early run crew.
