This’ll just be a shorty because I’m trying to do a lot of stuff in a little time.

The recovery week continues…. Yesterday was an easy 8-mile run. Kept up a pretty strong pace the whole run even though technically I should have been a bit slower, I was so happy to have such a relatively short run with nothing fancy asked of me, I just ran from the heart.

Today is a day off, then tomorrow I’ll be doing a 14-miler in the morning (keeping correct Pfitzinger pace, no ifs and or buts). Afterwards, we’re leaving until Monday for upstate NY where my wonderful old friend Simon and Hector, his mate, have a fab house in the woods. He’s also invited my buddy Julie, who I went to high school with in Arkansas and moved up to NYC shortly after I did, and her hubby. It promises to be one of those weekends of indulgent spoiling with fabulous food, drink and laughter.

I’m supposed to do a recovery run on Sunday but I’m going to skip it entirely. It’ll be lovely having an extra day off which should put me in prime condition for a strong run on Tuesday…10 w/5 tempo miles.

Next week will be 52 miles, so that’s cool. More than cool, I’m grateful and thrilled that building back up from the heel bursitis episode has been so uneventful. Everything’s working just as it did before, knock on wood, so thank you, Running Gods, thank you. The beat goes on.

And with that, I hope everyone has a great weekend. Unless something wild happens during my run tomorrow, I probably won’t be blogging until Tuesday, so have some weekend adventures on me and may you all be fleet of foot for the next few days and beyond.
