So I just returned from the first run of this training cycle … only 125 days left (ugh).

One thing I’m working on burning into my head is that I have to stick to the training plan … like today I went out too fast, I had to remember that today was a recovery run, so it should be slower than my normal pace. I started doing this just on Saturday, reminding myself that this is a long run, and to keep my pace, it’ll be a long road.

Speedwork on Thursday should be fun …. not sure how we’re going to do it, but we’ll figure it out …
