7/2-7/8

Monday 7/2 - 6 miles - Did an easy run from 355 to the Seneca Creek Greenway trail.

Tuesday 7/3 - 9 miles - Another easy run on the Seneca Creek Greenway trail from 355 to Brink Rd.

Wednesday 7/4 - 7 miles - Was planning on doing the valley from the lower parking lot today but I encountered a group of runners on the trail and I was having too much fun trying to catch all of them that I didn't notice I turned off the blue trail onto the black trail. I decided to just go with that and kept following the black trail, and then took the green trail and then the yellow trail back to the parking lot. I really enjoyed this loop since it is almost all up or down so I decided that doing three loops was plenty of hill work which would be the goal of doing the valley in the first place.

Thursday 7/5 - 9 miles - Seneca Creek Greenway trail from 355 to Brink Rd. Pushed the hills hard whenever I encountered one.

Friday 7/6 - ~2miles - Time was short today but I managed to go up and get in a little hill workout. I did the loop I discovered Wednesday once very hard in a bit of a time trials (22:16).

Saturday 7/7 - off - Traveling to Philadelphia with other students in my internship for the weekend.

Sunday 7/8 - 3 miles - Did the Philadelphia color run with some other fellow students in my internship. We ran it easy and have a great time.

Total: 36 miles

Not a whole lot of mileage but the week was relatively solid, I just didn't have time to do any long running on the weekends. Given that I only plan to take a week easy to "taper" for Catoctin considering the circumstances I am confident I will still be able to get two more solid weekends of long run in and be in relatively fit condition once I toe the line.
