It was a good week--tired, and my runs were slow, but I was happy to get in the miles that I did, and to surpass my goal for the week.
Tuesday - 5.2 miles, night trail run, very fun.
Thursday - 5 miles, paved, wherein the puppy attempted to jump into traffic
Friday - 20.7 miles, trails, with the puppy. I felt exhausted from the start of this run, and considered cutting it short. But when I didn't feel any worse in the second hour than I had in the first, I figured I should keep going. I'm glad I finished out the distance, however slow and difficult it may have been. :)
Sunday - 12 miles, paved. Lovely run along the seawall; bright sun, blue ocean, white mountains. But the wind was chilly and finishing *into* the wind zapped the last of my energy for the week.
Total: 42.9 miles, which is my biggest week in months. It's still not huge, so I'm not sure why my legs have felt so tired lately. This week I'll drop back just a bit, to 30 miles.

Great job pushing through a tough week. I think it's great that you're listening to your body's cues and cutting back a bit. I've only done a couple night runs (well, on trails where I needed a head light)and they were fantastic! It's creepy and exhilarating to only have your own circle of light. :)
