back by popular demand! last post was dec 30th, been running sporadically since then. kept myself close to training weight and my form hasn't deteriorated too badly but as far as the mental aspect i'm back to square one. also ended up winning that fantasy league i mentioned on the last few posts(thanks mike evans!)

AM - 3 miles untimed on the road. hamstrings sore from some stability ball stuff and glute bridges yesterday. didn't sleep well, woke up after two hours burning up and took three more to fall back asleep

PM - 3 miles on backroads. used the watch for the first time in a while, first mile in 5:50 then the last two easy. pretty sure i covered the last quarter mile in under 75 seconds and looked terrile doing so lol. overstriding, arms flailing, the whole 9 yards. 

also my canes are screwed in the playoffs with svechnikov hurt :(

AM - 3 on roads

PM - 3 on the treadmill in about 18:45. Felt pretty relaxed hitting 10+ mph, a thousand times moreso than that 5:50 mile last week. Think I've done a week of 3/3, probably time to move (at least) one of those up to 5. And start tracking pace

PM2 - core and weights at the gym

PM - 5 on backroads. only took 4 hours of recovery between runs, legs were tired but not hurting. had to take off my shorts and run in quarter tights after a couple minutes because my inner thighs got chaffed to hell on the 11. did the vasoline trick right before, didn't help much.

AM - 10 on roads. Storms hitting later today and tomorrow so probably won't get to 100 miles this week, but then again I don't think I've cleared more than 50 in like 6 months either so not the end of the world. legs holding up well
