Umm. IDK. I think I'll aim for my LR of 16 on Sunday. It is Easter, but I don't think I'll have 2.5 hours to spare until then.

I'm busy and my running has SUCKED, but I already have the wine tonight so whatever.


Any AWs/Brags/awesomeness?
Noooo.

Oh, taper is a good one I am there even if the first week of taper is a tease.
According to my facebook memories apparently all I do in April is run marathons, go to lacrosse games, and cheer on the CAPS. This year that marathon is early May, but apparently life is predictable, haha.

My only vent is this week schedule is sucky. I'm back from vacation and exhausted today, and I have the hardest workout of the week tonight. Then, I have a 3 day weekend, so I could do ALL the running, and my coach scheduled me a rest day on saturday. I'll likely crosstrain.


Any AWs/Brags/awesomeness?
Non H&F: I feel recharged from my beach vacation. it was just what I need, just when I needed it.


Bonus question! April showers bring May flowers, but what else are they bringing for you? Vacation, allergies, and the start of my busy season at work.

Any vents/whines/requests for alcohol and hairpats?
I'm so so tired right now (after running 10 miles). And I'm pretty sure I'm way undertrained for my races, the past couple of weeks it's not been going so well. I rolled my ankle a couple of weeks ago so took it easy just in case, then I got a stomach bug, then I lost a bunch of sleep to work/kid things. I "ran" 10 miles on trails today, but the last 3 had significant chunks of walking. Which, like, it's fine, but not where I was hoping to be.

Any AWs/Brags/awesomeness?
Liking my new trail shoes. Got the Altra Lone Peak 4 men's shoe, so far so good. Love how much space there is for my toes, plus it has better traction than a road shoe. It's taken a little getting used to a zero drop shoe, since my previous running shoes had kind of a large drop, but it's not too bad because my Crossfit shoes have a small drop so I've been doing more pose running in the past few years.


Bonus question! April showers bring May flowers, but what else are they bringing for you? Well in Texas the flowers have been here for a while, but we planted wildflower seeds in a big part of our yard last fall and some of them grew! Mostly just the bluebonnets actually, which is weird, but it's nice to have flowers in the yard.
