Let's just call this the month of rest. I'm not sure if it was due to the new job as a new stressor or my lack of strength training but I bombed out hard at my half marathon. There were many many issues that day (which you can read about in that post) but safe … Continue reading March 2022 Stats

But I rallied and added on some mileage (probably much to my coach's chagrin) to be able to grab it. And … Continue reading December 2021 Stats

Started building back up a solid base after taking a break in October. Thinking about 2022 and what I'd like to accomplish in running... stay tuned maybe I'll have it figured out by the end of the year.
