Notes:
  • My calf feels a lot better this week! Now to keep up with the stretching and foam rolling.  
  • I took a good running selfie on Friday and then it didn't save on my phone.  Womp womp.  I need to keep practicing my technique anyway.  
  • Riding 2.5 hours on the indoor trainer is not surprisingly, very boring .  I watched a few Netflix shows and took a few snack breaks.  I am definitely looking forward to riding outside. I might just bundle up this weekend and tough it out outside. 
  • 116 days to go.
