Sunrise over airport in Torino
Hiya!
Well, this past week was a rough one as I battled some jet lag after returning from Italy, making those initial interval workouts feel like climbing the Alps. Flying back and forth from East coast to West coast not a problem, but heading further East and doubling the time shirt, not ideal! Oh, let’s not forget to combine the jet lag with 95% morning humidity over the past week that literally sucks the life out of you, it was a struggle!
Luckily by then end of the week, I found my stride and felt stronger before the long run on Saturday.

Workouts & Run Recap:
- Mon: Travel day back to States.
- Tue: 50 mins: Coach had me on hill repeats/intervals. TBH… this really sucked. Hard all around and I kind of gave up towards the end.
- Wed: 30: mins Easy pace. Felt okay.
- Thur – Rest day. Thought about weights, but didn’t make it happen. Sad.
- Thur: Efasy run or rest. I choose rest! Stretched a bit.
- Fri: 50 mins: Intervals again. This time I was prepared. Better sleep and focused. Felt strong the whole time
- Sat: 90 mins: Did out and back on ATT. Sticky and hot as I’ve mentioned. Found porta potty on way back just in time! IYKYK!
- Sun: 40 mins. Ran a small local loop. felt a bit heavy.. but not too bad.
Overall Recap:
Mileage was up and I feel pretty good overall. Took steps to make sure I stayed hydrated as the week progressed. Too easy think a short run will be easy. I also rested a bit more than I usually do during the day. Sadly I didn't lift weights at all. Arrgg.. It’s all about balance, both for mind and body.
