First run commute!

RUN 3.6 miles in 36 mins, total of 50 mins and 4.4 miles to work
RUN 4.1 miles in ~40 mins, 50 mins and 4.6 miles to home

Totals were 7.7 miles in about 80 minutes, my longest run to date! And the longest interval yet of 13 minutes. Yahoo! So I'm not ready to start Weds run commutes, or am I?

I swapped days this weekend, planned to do the long run before the long ride. That way I'm fresher for the run, which makes more sense and I don't know why I have to mention this plan like it's a smart or novel idea.

Gorgeous day, and I had the cool temps and sun the whole way. I even wore the Camelbak sans bladder and loved loved loved the feel of putting it on and clipping in. So familiar a feeling.

I took both runs very easy, in the end was at 10 m/m pace running, a bit slower than expected, but my HR stayed in good range doing so. I had my usual stiff re-start after lab work was done but knew from experience that it would shake out. And it did, so familiar a feeling.

Afterwards, shower and FR, then I didn't eat most of the rest of the day! I had a few eggs and a hunk of steak pre-run, then wasn't hungry. Thank you carnivore keto! SO took me to a park with a beach, we hung out watching the water and floaters. Exactly the kind of relaxation Dr L and JH have in mind probably. Recovery, but not on the couch sleeping type of recovery. I need more of this, it's not a familiar feeling!
