1000 Miles in 2024

Hey, all.  Happy 2024!!  I'm in still not for 1,000 but building on last year's successful return to running.  Now this year is becoming a runner again.  I just finished a 12-week run build getting to 15 mpw with two quality runs each week, mostly leg speed stuff then a little threshold work towards the end.

So far, so good.  Other than getting a tummy bug right before a 5K race LOL. 

I've been seeing a physical therapist for about six weeks now.  I went in basically saying, "my back gets on my nerves, fix it!" and we've done a ton of hip, glute, and back strengthening and balance work and it has worked wonders.  I'm never going to be pain free but it's getting me in my running shoes more consistently, and that's what matters.

Anyway, up to about 60 miles so far this year (target 600), a little behind schedule but I was pretty sick for a week about a month ago. 

As of a 10K race yesterday (where I was pacing my daughter and wound up right at an hour with my HR mostly in high-Z2, low-Z3 range so I had a lot of upside if I went at it), I'm at 144 miles for the year.  I have a big run month coming up as I build for a sprint tri the first weekend in June.  Thrilled with how 2024 is going so far - just gotta keep up with all of the PT work which is SO time-consuming but I have to do it. 

How's everyone else?
