I enjoyed a most excellent run after work. Ran four 1/4 mile pickups on the last 2 miles. Super grateful for my health and the ability to run fast and strong. 6:55

I jumped on the ladder train tonight and had a great workout. The objective was to complete the fast sections. I never felt out of control or that I dipped into "the well" so it was a success for a first time doing something like this. I look forward to making it faster next time.

Easy miles around highland with Scott. Legs were tired but it feels good to get a decent week in. I feel ready to begin making a training/fitness push and commit to some races. I am so grateful to start the year healthy.
