Notes
Crazy warm weather for January. It was over 60! I decided to go a bit farther and throw in a 3 mile tempo portion because it's been a while since I did any speed. I planned on doing 750, 740, 730 and I thought that would be reasonable but then I forgot that last mile has a significant hill and that I always try to go faster than those limits so I definitely took it too hard for that last mile. But I'm cool with it because it's been a while.
So for the first time I feel like my core work is making a difference. When I was pushing hard in that last hard mile, I could feel my trunk was a bit more solid. It was a weird feeling but it gave me some confidence. Maybe it's all in my head :)
Also, I need to get back on the eating less food bandwagon. I mean I haven't really lost anything. I guess I'm gaining all this muscle :)
