BHS intervals - maybe should have kept this easier given I was tired from the weekend, but once we got rolling it felt alright. 3x800, 3x2min uphill, 3x1.5min uphill, 3x1min uphill.

Mill Cities Relay leg 4 (aka the long leg). Cold wet day and just hanging out in the car for the first 3 legs. Managed food well but cold with wet feet before I even started. Short warmup and then jumping out of the car to get to the transition because of traffic. Once I started though I felt pretty good. My team was a bit slower, so I was able to catch and pass a whole bunch of people. Maintained a good pace and refrained from looking at the watch too much. Nice bike path near the river then some busy cambered roads that kind of sucked. Passed by a guy after 1/2 way, but couldn't keep the 6:20 or whatever he was running. Just kept chugging at what felt like a reasonable pace. One more guy passed near the exchange point.

Honestly pretty happy with this effort. This was probably better than my half marathon in terms of pacing and focus. Strava says a 15k PR of 1:00:55 - that's not true because there were a couple of boilermakers that I broke an hour, but it's probably one of my best post baby runs. Crazy that I do better at low key relay races than the things I actually try to train for. Maybe I should just stop training and stressing about events...

Minimal warmup, no cooldown (just hard cider at the Claddagh)

Shamrock run. Tried to take it easy, but felt kind of meh with the group. Tired and snuffly.

Morning run with 2x backside and 2x frontside horn pond mountain. Not feeling super awake but nice sunrise views.

Center to center shamrocks route. Picked up Mill Cities bibs for the weekend.
