Totals: Run - 61 miles, 7:19. Bike - 1:00. Second solid week in a row! Got in a good long run in some shitty weather with Carrara & Co. on Sunday and nailed Tuesday and Saturday's workouts right on the head. Took Wednesday completely off for no good reason but didn't lose any sleep over it. Actually, for what it's worth, I bagged 8 hours of sweet shuteye that night instead of waking up early to make the wheel on the bike go round and round. I'm very happy with my overall consistency since March 1 and am really excited to see what I can do on the track this summer.
