Weekly Sweats: Humble Pie Edition

A tale of 23 miles and frustration with my work life.  Werk has been pretty heavy duty lately and my first full week in the office after Christmas break came down hard with no mercy.  The only way that workouts happen in weeks like these is when they happen at dark o'clock in the morning.

I'm not really training for anything except life right now.  I don't need to start training for my April half for a few more weeks (and anyway my half marathon training plan is just "run a lot"), so the goal now is to start increasing my mileage a bit.  In full transparency, my body was not impressed with the treadmill this week, and you'll see that a few of my workouts came with a side of humble pie.  That's life friends, I wouldn't have anything to write about if everything was easy.

Weekly Sweats: A New Year's Eve 5k

This week I ran my slowest 5k in a while (there's more to the story, it was a good race), took a cutback week, and dipped a toe back into strength training.  12.4 miles of running this week.

2020 State of the Run

Before we get started
I am not qualified to give advice on any subject let alone running.  This is what works for me and the trials and errors that got me here.  The only thing I know for sure is that you should do you.

My Running Plans for 2019 (here)

• Run > 1,000 miles

Weekly Eats: Day Late Edition

A weekly round up, eats, watches, and reads.  For the first time in two years, I'm a day late with my weekly food recap.  Yesterday I ended up taking a "personal day" from the internet, something that I don't believe I've done since the internet was invented.
