I kept waking up last night fearing I had missed my alarm and didn't get my miles in.  Weird.

4:38am eventually came and I headed to the gym.  8 easy miles on the TM.  1:14:00.

I felt good, but was very bored.  I think that is an injury too...boredom on the TM.  I watched a few early morning cooking shows (definitely better than the news).  I had to wear my old visor this morning.  The velcro is wacked and it kept falling off.  Then sweat kept getting in my eyes.  Fun times on the TM.

1x30 LLL.

Stretched and foam rolled.

Got my mullet cut off yesterday.  I gotta look spiffy for the trip.

Great miles this week so far. Your entry made me laugh a little. I am sure you did NOT have a mullet! Where you guys off to on your trip?

Smooth, I have photographic evidence on my blog that you in fact DO know what a mullet is.
