Long-Term Running Goals: I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.
Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:) Personal:

I knew it looked easier than it was going to feel today. I’ve learned better on this plan. None of it felt enjoyable which means it’s probably working.
Like my brother used to tormentingly say, “Do you want a cookie or a medal!?”
Both, please.

| Scheduled rest day. The only day I actually feel like running:)
Snow day, kids are home. We got around 16-18 inches in less than 24 hours. Just when I thought spring was right around the corner. Let it be known I’m officially ending my bets on the groundhog.
We spent the day making forts (I just encouraged and clapped), knocked heavy snow off the trees, and cleaned the house.

| Today was a tempo day which felt more like a mental effort than a physical effort. I haven’t been getting much sleep the last week and took some melatonin last night. This morning felt like I had a hangover. So tired! Funny bc I was just telling Steve that I didn’t think it really worked, and here I am. 😴
Progressive miles @ marathon pace effort. That felt pretty hard to do. I would have liked to be a bit faster but honestly anything under 8:40 felt more taxing today. Good job, Tara.

| I did a poor job of managing my time this morning. Carpool and dentist appointments left me with just enough time to fit 5 miles in before hanging up the towel. 7:54 ap.
Long run scheduled for tomorrow.
My right hamstring and glute is getting really tight this week, my right knee is stiff and my R shin was starting to get bothered during yesterday’s workout. The right leg needs to be cut off. I see no other solutions. Joking aside I’m obviously weaker and need more hip work and single leg squats. My Garmin pretty much knows everything and even shows a slight favor on my left leg, so I guess I just dx the issue. Work harder, Tara.

| Super solid run today at Jeremy Ranch. The track was pretty decent. Temps read 12 with a -2 feel with wind. Yikes! Ran up 3.5mi to the ranch and back twice to get the mileage. The return each way pretty hard from the cold wind and it was more uphill. Tried hard to not let my HR get too high during those particular miles but it inevitably would climb 80-85% then return to 70% ish. Who cares. Happy with the run.
