Execution & Reflections:Last night, I was already plotting time and location for this run — because that’s just how I do. But when I woke up? Stiff as a board, achy as a breaky heart. 🥴 Cue the inner dialogue ping-pong match: “Should I go?” “What if it messes with my long run tomorrow?” “Maybe

Workout Plan: Fueling Plan: Execution & Reflections: When I rolled out of bed this morning, I noticed a subtle tingle in my right calf—nothing intense, but just enough to raise an eyebrow.
