I hit another weekly mileage PR last week: 23 miles. I think I am going to drop the overall mileage this week but still bump up the long run mileage on Sunday. The Higdon schedule I am ever so loosely following has this week as a recovery week so I think I will *ahem* run with that this week.
Monday - One hour of yoga. This was my first class since my Thursday night classes ended. It was taught at the Y and I didn't like it so much. I got some good stretching and strengthening but no time to quiet the mind. I am surprised by how much I missed that part of it. I found a different class at a different Y this week and I LOVED it.
Tuesday - 4 mile inadvertent tempo run at the lake. I meant this to be just an easy four-miler but everything just felt great so I went "fast".
Thursday - Blew off spinning class because I was exhausted. Felt some rest and grocery shopping were a better use of my time.
Friday - 5 miles of half-marathon pace at the lake. However, I couldn't hold myself down to that slow of a pace for some reason and ended up doing 30 seconds per mile faster then I set out to do. On the plus side, I was able to hold the entire 5 miles at the exact same pace which is almost impossible for me.
Saturday - 4 miles on a quesy stomach in the rain. I really wasn't feeling good but made myself go out and do this.
Sunday - 10 miles in gorgeous weather. This was much more difficult than last Sunday's run even though the conditions were vastly improved. I actually had to take a couple of walk breaks but I still cranked them out. Hooray for the out and back run because it leaves you no choice but to finish your distance.

That's always my thought on the out and back -- "Well, crap, I have to at least get back to the car!" I have been tempted to phone for a cab a few times though ;)
