HAd a spec end day planned. That changed as the temp dropped. Cold weather and sore achilles dont mix. I warmed up and did about 5x10m bs and packed it up. The swirling wind and cold air influenced my decision.

I did a speed end day.
2x30 bs 2x60 bs 2x80 stand
It was a decent day. legs were a pretty beat up. I was able to get under 4 in the 30 and 6.90 in a 60. I feel like I can go much faster but I need some therapy. Legs are super tight. I got a massage the next day.
I didnt hit the weights because I was beat.
Well I just drove 4 hours up to see my grandparents. Just got back. Had to give my sister some cash. Gotta pay mortgage soon. Gville is a good 5 hours from me. Dont like putting all those miles on the car week after week.
Get hood with it, take greyhound…
