The first day of spring break is a good day to start training, right? Especially because of the coronavirus, I don't even have school to go back to haha. Ran 3.5 on park loop, then finished with some barefoot laps on the turf. Felt wheezy, but that's how any training block starts. Can't wait to get at it. 

Sidenote: if any of you are former collegiate runners turned party lifestyle turned back to running, I'd appreciate some advice haha, I'd really love to get back to my original fitness, but after about a year and a half of slacking off, I can understand if that's unattainable.

i don’t think i’ve ever been more qualified to speak on an issue than this one. just take a month or two not sweating it too much and just running when you want and you’ll slowly want to do it more and more and after those couple of months you’ll be in a good enough place to get back to where you were before, made even farther. don’t rush it, you’ll know when you’re ready to hit it hard again. partying is fun, it’s still gonna be fun even if you’re training like you never have before. but at a point you (mostly) just want to get the pleasure from training your ass off more than anything else.

good to see you back on the blog. hope you stick with it. it’s popping off way less than it did when we were in high school but it’s a good and supportive community that i’m sure want to see you doing well.

Welcome back to the blog. I used to enjoy following your blog when you were running in college. I always wondered what happened to you. I look forward to reading your blog in the future.

haha if it's fitness that you are trying to get back it's like post-mission. Just build up nice and slow. slowly build up to 45 miles per week before any speed workouts. It took me about 2 months. if its motivation... not sure.

Let me know when you are back in town. Let's catch up. I went on a date with Boston a little bit ago getting Thai. It was special.

Connor - much love to you as well brother

Coach - I'd love to go on a date with you, as long as you have me home by dark so my mom doesnt get worried
