28 miles last week plus a lot of biking and strength/core/yoga. Had such a good last few days in Colorado Springs with Clay, Gillian, and Katy! Then I went out to see my sister in Aspen for a few days. Got to run on my fav trail ever again, the Rio Grande, and seeing my twin was cool too. So happy to be back in Atlanta I kinda missed the Georgia heat! So excited to see everyone soon!

24 miles and 4 hours of aqua jogging. Tuesday's fartlek workout went great. Only ran Sunday through Wednesday. Got cleared today by the Doctor to start back running again. She said as long as the pain in my lower left knee area does not increase as I begin running that workouts and intensity can continue.

40 miles last week. Sprained my big toe on Wednesday and took Thursday and Friday off of running to give it some rest. Ran a test 3 miles on Saturday and had minimal pain. Ran normal long run yesterday and pain was also minimal. Recovery is going well, it’s coming back stronger already.

60 miles last week! I was so happy with the week, I had two great workouts and really prioritized recovery/stretching. Ready for a down week but couldn't be more excited to start practice in a few days! I'm looking forward to moving back in tomorrow :)

Katy- 66 miles last week! Had so much fun in my last week at altitude! I really enjoyed spending time with the Colorado crew, but Im excited to see everyone this coming week in Atlanta! I switch my long run day to Saturday when I was in Missouri on my way home since we woke up at 5 am to leave Missouri for Georgia! It was a long drive but Clay and Hope made it so much more fun! I’m really going to miss Colorado and all of its beauty πŸ˜”
