Sigh...

Well, I'm going to have to really bust my ass to hit my mileage target for this month.   Those couple of days with no power/Internet really put me behind.   I'm going to have to average ~28 miles/day for the rest of the month.  At least I've been able to catch up on my Apple monthly challenge.

Also feeling a little demoralized because one of the teams in the challenge is completely stacked and have a 1200 mile lead after one week.  That's 170 miles per day more that their team is racking up.   Kind of frustrating to try and keep up.   Add in my already sore legs and it feels like an insurmountable challenge.  I guess it's a good thing the Yankees are in the world series and I can sit and pedal away while watching the game.

However, on a brighter note, I went for a run on Wednesday night.   It's been a hot minute, or month for that matter, since I ran, and I ran the fastest I've run since July.  Apple and Strava disagree on the "fastest" 5k, but I was pleasantly suprised at how good it felt.  It went so well that I signed up for an Alzheimers run as well as finally signing up for the race up in VA over Christmas.   Since my ride next month got cancelled I need a few more events to keep me moving.   Look for some more runs to come.
