Blah....good morning Monday :/. On the home TM because the air is so horrible. And because I’m lazy. Hip flexor is buggy.

Meet Rachel to do Grove-Baldy-Battle. I knew my legs would be heavy. They did alright the first few miles (to the bench miles were 20:00 and 22:29). But once we started to climb Baldy, they got REALLY tired. And heavy. And I just wanted to be done.

But the view on the top of Baldy was gorgeous and out of the inversion. I hate coming down Battle Creek. Yuck!

I’m mentally glad to have that done. I could run a marathon faster than I did today. But it was perfect training for Buffalo—2 back to back long HARD runs. And I’m still alive.

Strength training before
