I ran 4 miles at the chain of lakes today. I had no intentions of running negative splits, but that’s what ended up happening. I’m not back to the pace I was at at this time last year, but I’m moving closer to it every day.

Every time I step out the front door to do speedwork, I think today is the day! The day that I will fall in love with speedwork and all it’s charms. Today was still not that day.
It was hateful but I did it.

I feel more support, encouragement, and compassion from my followers on tumblr, than from the 100’s of people I know IRL on Facebook.
I want you to know that I truly appreciate the time you spend reading my ridiculous little posts. It means
so much to me every time you comment or click that little heart.
We may never meet face to face, but I love reading about your adventures and...
