About to go on a run, tomorrow will be in a car for 12+ hours, so its a good idea to do premeet. Should be a 60 mile week.

Didn't feel super good today, a lot of heartburn and kind of sick. But I got out for a run. Tired.

Looks good Blake?

Why only three miles on Monday?

A lot of the roads at Alta are open. You should head up there a couple times.

I'm driving down to California on Monday, so when I get in I will probably be tired and not wanting to run too much after 12 hours in the car. I thought it would be a good opportunity for a full health 1600m at sea level. I'm going up to leadville early the week after to get extra elevation help because of California this week, a few extra days at 10,000+ feet should help a lot. Also going to run in the mountains in Malibu to help with elevation as much as I can, they get up to 3000 feet sp not great, but I will do the best I can.

Have fun!

I'll be running at altitude in Colorado all week.
