Turn your rut into a groove.

pm--7 Harmons out-and-back. I decided to take a few days off this week to heal up and not think about running. The first was more successful than the second. Monday or Tuesday, I came across a journal from NAU's championship run this year. Here's a link: https://view.publitas.com/p222-16027/back-to-back-a-season-with-the-nau-mens-cross-country-team/page/1. It really it an interesting read and, surely, it got me out the door this afternoon. It's funny how a few days off can make the first mile or two back feel like work, but I eventually got into a groove. Good to be back. RHR--48. 

pm—6 Tready miles, progressing a tad bit until the end. Felt good. The thing I like about the treadmill is that it’s easier to hold form at slightly slower paces. RHR—59.

pm—3.25 I intended on running more, but my calf/knee and heel were more painful than the’ve been in months. So I opted out at 3.

am--8 Variation on the morning route. I was privileged to run in the winter garb--gloves, beanie, tights, etc.--and loved it. My aches felt better today, at least back to normal. Peppyish by the end. RHR--52.
