Ordinary Marathoner

Crushed yesterday. Absolutely destroyed it. Yoga, strength training, great swim, and then ran 5miles at a pace I haven’t seen in over a year and a half! Keep up the momentum…

Today’s key cliches: controlling my attitude, fighting for my routine, and finishing workouts. 117 days left to Lake Placid.
