1 mile warmup. Then I set out to do some miles at below 11 mm pace (my plans for January and February). Mile 1 10:24 Mile 2 10:37 Mile 2 felt a lot harder than mile 1.

I know it is supposed to be beneficial to take a couple of weeks off from running each year to let your body heal, but I really hate going through the muscle adaptation and stiffness when I start up again.

Picked up my Muir Fresh Harvest bundle this afternoon. Great stuff! $35 for about $80 worth of fresh food. And - I got a groupon today for $20 for $50 worth of food from Winder Dairy.

Plank: :33 Side Plank: :32 - long way to go to catch up to Allie.

I used them a long time ago when our kids were little. Not sure I'll actually 'subscribe' since I only go through a gallon of milk and one or more cartons of eggs a week - but thought the price was too good to pass up.

I did not get that GROUPON offer!!!

I agree, it is hard to catch up for sure, but the time off is good for ya!
