Totals: 55.5mi.  Only 3hrs yoga/barre this week.

Notes: BUSY week with work and on-call schedule.  Spent a lot of time in the hospital/OR/clinic which limited the extra yoga AND sleep this week.  On call again next week (last week every woohooo!)  Felt good about the running this week, nice to break out and do some strides and faster stuff which I haven't done for awhile.  I like focusing on speed for a bit, get the legs working again before bringing the miles back up.  Keep forgetting to make time to foam roll.  And drink water.  Two goals for next week I guess!
