New month.  Show is over.  Time to see if I can get past the constant exhaustion and swollen Achilles tendon and work out a little more this month. Mentally I feel so much better when running.

First time this year in a long sleeve.  I was very sweaty.

First time in weeks that I have felt halfway rested.  Or just excited about getting a callback for Gentleman's Guide

Light run to shake out callback nerves and open up my voice.

Angry run.  Pounding out my frustration of not getting cast in Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder after slaying at the audition.

I'm fighting a cold virus.  Running easy seems to help clear out my lungs and head a bit.  Hopefully, I didn't just wear myself out for the rest of the day.

 Not feeling great. Voice is still gone.  Running helps open the throat and lungs up.

Easy run with Lily.  Except she is in better shape than I am.

Aiming for 25 miles this week.  Achilles is hanging in there, but it gets sore. I hate being old

Murray to Wheeler with Lily.  Didn't get right, but hit 25 for the week.  On the slow buildup

Waiting for a casting call has got me all sorts of jumpy and nervous.  And it shows in my run. 8 miles at 7:15 average.  That's a bit faster than I have been running

Finishing up the month at around 100 miles.  Hoping to build a bit through the end of the year.
