Consistently place in the top 5 of my age division as long as my body will allow it.

Had a nice 6-miler with Kim with about half in the sunshine. And no wind for a change so that was extra nice! My legs are slowly coming back and the back/hip felt pretty good today and better than Saturday so that is positive. Just gotta keep it nice and easy for a few weeks and enjoy the journey.

Your HR will come down when you give it a reason to. No worries.

Keep up the good recovery work.
