Yesterday was not my best day… I’ve been really tired lately, and I’m not sure why. This week my miles are down, and I’m not super stressed about work or anything else. Anyway, lucky for me that yesterday they were giving out free coffee in the morning at work. Otherwise I don’t know how I…

Last week was a big week for me — I hit 69 miles, which is the most that I’ve ever logged. I had hit 64 for Houston, and was around 65 in my peak weeks in college. This week I’m planning to hit 77-80, wish me luck! I can tell the mileage is making me…
