Weekly workouts: 11/2-11/9 (postpartum week 20)

I'm switching back to a Monday through Sunday workout schedule since that's what my half marathon training plan is following and that starts this week. For some reason, I like a Monday through Sunday schedule better anyway, so I'm glad for the change.

In other news, I hit a postpartum weekly mileage high this week (edit: upon recheck, it's actually the second highest weekly mileage, but whatever, it's more than most weeks lately, so yay me) and post-baby speed PRs in both a regular run and a race. I realize that thirteen miles in one week and an 8:xx pace really isn't all that impressive, but considering I'm only four and a half months postpartum, I'm pretty proud of my fitness gains. Let's keep 'em coming!
