Weather - 78 degrees, sunny, humid.

It feels good to run short and slow. I can feel my body begin to strengthen itself through rest. Foot felt fine, so thankfully the tension was most likely a cramped muscle. Not much else happening right now.

Hey, Will. Sorry I haven't been on here much! I'm on Day #6 of 10 in a row at work and it's killing me. I'm about to pass out at the keyboard I think! I think a rest week is smart. Gives the body a chance to build up. I know a lot of coaches for both biking and running advocate a rest week every fourth week or so especially after a lot of hard workouts and/or long runs. Your body will thank you for it! Keep it up man!

Benn - Yeah, I have not had to work all that much the past few years, but I remember in my 20's working 2 jobs and going to school full time - it can be a drain. One thing, you got youth on your side, so you should be able to recover quickly from the strain.

I got a new bike last year, it is a one speed cruiser, super light, it can really fly. Have fun with your new one, and keep up the good training. When it finally cools off in New York you are going to feel great!
