I haven't had any good races, but nothing is going particularly poorly either. I really wish I could be in the same type of shape I was in prior to Boston, but I've come to accept that after the marathon I go back to base mode and it's good for me in the long run. I'll eat whatever I want, enjoy myself, and just focus on getting in mileage with workouts/tempos/hills thrown in at whatever mix happens to work with my schedule.
One thing this summer is doing...moving too fast!! I can't believe we're nearing the end of July. Elizabeth and I have been super busy, and the time to think about mapping out my marathon training for Dublin is fast approaching, if not already here. Thankfully, I'm confident in my base...I just want maybe a little more time to enjoy summer food & drink!
