Another week in the books...

And let me tell you it was a stressful one. Seriously. I don't think I have ever had this stressful of a week. At least not in a LONG time. The layoffs in the legal community are still coming fast and furious and neither my nor my husband's firms are immune. Someone I love very deeply was disturbingly suicidal. And my nephew (just under 8 mo.) is currently in the hospital with a high fever and breathing problems. Sheesh. To add a nice icing on the cake, we got another 3-4 inches of snow this weekend making for rather suckish running conditions. I know, waaa waaa.

The good news is that things seem to be regulating some and I was able to decompress some this weekend. Both my husband and I still have our jobs, no one took their life, and the snow is melting. Once my nephew gets released from the hospital, we should be a bit more normalized.

So what about running, you ask? Oh yeah. It was pretty decent:

M: rest

T: 6 easy on the treadmill (8:45)

W: 12 outside (9:10) - scheduled for 7 at 15K pace, but there was no way I could do that in the snowy conditions I was running in. So I just took it easy and enjoyed the ride.

R: 5 easy on the mill (8:52) - way too icy to go outside.

F: 12 with 7 at 15K pace (7:37). I struggled through this workout. It is always one of the hardest on the Pfitz schedule, but it was also a rough run because: (1) it was on the treadmill; (2) my left front shin muscle hurt; and (3) I was just plain tired and underperforming. I stopped several times to stretch out the shin, but I finished. That was big. I finished.

Sa: 5 easy on the treadmill (9:10) - snowy and windy outside.

Su: 20 (8:44) - did the first 15 just under a 9:00 pace (8:50ish), then picked it up for the last 5 (8:24, 8:34, 8:32, 8:36 and 7:52). I waited until 1:00 pm to go, so the roads weren't too bad. It was windy and COLD though!!

Total: 60
