- 03/20/2025 Training Log – The Inner Debate & The Tempo StruggleExecution & Reflections: This run nearly didn’t happen. I had mentally prepared for sunshine & mild weather, but instead, clouds rolled in, the temperature dropped, and light rain threatened.

- 03/13/2025 Training Log – Tempo Tango: 3 x 2 Miles in SyncExecution & Reflections:I am over the moon at how this workout unfolded. I followed my fueling protocol—the Maurten Solid was tasty, by the way! I think I now know what ‘comfortably hard’ means. At no time during the main workout segments did I consider my life’s choices. For every seeming ‘dud’ of a workout, there… Read more: 03/13/2025 Training Log – Tempo Tango: 3 x 2 Miles in Sync
