                     perfect weather for a run, but I am freaked about how good my quad is feeling so I made it a rest from running and elliptical day since my mileage was the highest it's been in months!

Whew, that was quite a procuctive week!  Lets break it down

Runs          3 for a grand total of 17 miles!! no set goal
Strength    4 goal is 3
Yoga          4  goal is 3
Elliptical   2 (20 minutes) no set goal

I felt like I kind of rocked it this week.  The best part by far was Thursday's 8 mile run.  The first half was a little slow since I was calibrating a heart rate monitoring program and it involved some walking, but the last miles were pure amazing.  Best run in months.  I was only going to do 5, but then that felt so good and the weather was so amazing, I thought 6 won't hurt.  6 came and went and I settled on 7.  My favorite run distance.  At 7 miles I wanted to run more more more, I was in the sweet spot on feeling like I could run forever.

In other news Swirlgear released their new line on Friday.

The long sleeve shirts have thumb holes now..YAY. 

I ordered a couple of things, the long sleeve grey shirt and the short sleeve red being two of them.  I want it all!  You can check out the full line Swirlgear.com and use the code "swirlon" to get free shipping.
How was your week?
Are you obsessed with thumb holes too? Are you always a little sad when a running shirt doesn't have them.  I am.

  5. I love thumbholes! I also have the Patagonia top where the sleeves fold into mittens! Since I don't like wearing gloves when I run, it's awesome.

  6. I love thumbholes! I definitely identify with the letdown when shirts don't have them. Glad to hear you are on the upswing on the running front! Nice work getting all that yoga in too!
