Oh Colby you're a 'what if' person just like my dear partner!!! Doing exercise with him sometimes is hard not because I have a hard time to follow sometimes but more because he keeps worrying that I'm thinking/feeling this or that and that makes things difficult. Just relax and let events unfold!

You're right. I went out for an unscheduled 5k today to replace yesterday's short recovery-week run.

I haven't been doing any speed work in a long time, but I always run on hills (there's nothing flat around here) so it's not totally lost on me. I think I'll just focus on volume for now and re-start doing speed work in the new year. I just want to know that I can do the distance I think. The speed work really taxes me if I'm running Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday in a row!!
