All it takes is all you've got

Well the good news is that I feel a great deal better this week than I did last week. The not so good news is that I had a dip in my mileage and effort last week, so I hope that isn't a major setback in my training for Monumental half. If it is, oh well. I'm just doing the best I can with the time and energy available.

Warm up

2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1 minute intervals

Started off pretty easy, but worked my pace down below 5:00/mile on the last short intervals

Went in for some graston on my achilles today. Hurt so good.

Also got braces on my top teeth today. I look like a total nerd, which is humbling and somewhat embarrassing. Hopefully I'll have straight teeth again in 6 months.

Teenagers: learn a lesson from me and please keep wearing your retainer into adulthood. Unless of course you like braces and yearn to get them again in your 30s.

Recovery run and a session of strength work at Rally Sport. I had a trainer show me some moves with Kettlebells today. Fun!

Wholy sore hammys batman.

Kettlebell workouts are not for wimps.

Workout at Boulder Res with my group.

Came early for an extra two miles in my warm up so I could call it my long run for the week.

The workout was 5X8 minutes at half marathon to marathon pace. I kept my intervals between 6:30-6:05 pace.

Felt pretty good
