Thank you for sharing your training points. I especially liked that every athlete is unique. We tend to forget this fact and try to compare ourselves to others too much. As a 65-year-old retiree I can never aspire to doing a 10 min mile. But I know that for someone my age if I can run a 15 min mile then I am in pretty darn good shape. And I concentrate on the fact that I am blessed to not have any chronic illnesses or injuries. Just to feel strong is enough for me.

Gorgeous pic!! Seriously thinking about setting that as my phone background, if I can.

Great tips, especially about not working on both volume and intensity in the same week. Learned that hard lesson personally and wound up completely spent. I spend more time trying to recover than I would have if I had just split the two.

I got word that the Manchester by the bay was cancelled. Ugh. Was hoping to do that one while in Massachusetts. Also The Colony that I’ve done for the past 4 or 5 years was also deferred to 2021. Our Firefly 5k was originally deferred to October, but has now gone virtual. Dropping like flies :( Miles and Margaritas trail half is still on this weekend...so far!

Got 4 in the books Monday and skipped yesterday. Heading out for 5 now...
