1186mi in 2025 (~23mpw avg). unfortunately i hit 1400mi in 2024 (~27mpw) so kinda heading backwards. honestly i don't really know how i managed 1400mi given that i started from actually 100% sedentary in sept 2023. can't be that hard on myself. the goal this year is unremarkable consistency. fewer hero weeks, fewer down weeks, less time spent thinking about running, more time actually doing it. realistically that'll probably land me somewhere around 1700mi (~33mpw), but we'll see if i can surprise myself.

took yesterday and today a little hotter than necessary, two rest days leaves you at an unsafe level of freshness. traction was bad so stabilizers were fully engaged. resultantly, calves and knees are a bit creaky. will take tomorrow low and slow to protect the saturday long run. i need new shoes again
