Rick, get your mind right and get back at it buddy. Best thing that happened to me was taking three weeks for my foot after my shitty virtual. Then I took another week for Christmas break before starting the new year fresh. I'll also say that working from home is a true blessing for motivation. I don't have to wake up at 4am every day and I can use an hour at lunch to get some miles in. Weekend runs are much more enjoyable now when I get more sleep during the week. I'm now getting an extra 10-12 hrs/week of sleep and it's great.

Ended January with 120 miles. A little lower than I thought but feel stronger and getting ready for an actual race in March.

Did a 5 x 5k trail race over the weekend. Man it was hard but fun. stayed consistent through the first 4 and the last mile of the 5th hit me like a rock. It's a great format for a race.

Considering I haven't done any long runs in two months, I'm pleased except for when your training buddy finished ahead of me by a minute overall.

I finished January with 129 miles, WAAAY more than I have for many moons. My 8 miler Sunday was rough though. I had pushed hard in a 6 miler Saturday, and my achilles tendons were howling in protest Sunday. I wanted to do a relaxing 10, but ended up with a painful 8. Taking today off seems to have helped. I plan to log something closer to 100 in February and work in some cross training.
