    Feels good to have got out for 4 runs in a week. Some of the runs have felt like a struggle at times, even if they are just easy runs. Final week in work so made an effort to get in to the office to say goodbye to a few folks in person. Couple of weeks "break" after this.

    Another good week of running with the first back to back runs carried out since January. This was a great confident boost. I had a planned evening of MTB with a few friends on the Thursday. Everything going well up until the last downhill run when I overshot a turn and ended up tumbling along a berm... friend behind caught a little of it on his gopro. Ego bruised.

    A good week. Really enjoyed the parkrun in Tymon. Had great company and I stretched the legs out afterwards. I've not included HR data for this and following weeks. HR strap has thrown up HR data that is way off so I'm in the process of returning it.

    2nd week in the new job and I was ill so couldn't take time off. Powered through it and managed to get to the weekend without any issue, except major fatigue. No running which was a bummer.

    Fair play pacing & having your balloon in tact😉I would be a nervous wreck but I'm sure the feeling of getting people their target time is amazing 😊

    That's stressful about the airbnb alright. Hate that kind of carry-on. I always have an alternative booking via booking.com that I cancel at the last minute (unless needed, which luckily it never has been).

    Hopefully Chicago dining etc has settled down since last year - things were still pretty chaotic post-covid with very heavy bookings everywhere - we struggled to find good meals, and the coffee everywhere was surprisingly shite too! It's a great town though - I'd recommend doing one of the river tours the day after the race, good recovery activity.

    Best of luck with the run-in.

    Actually this one, where a group of us had our Saturday evening pasta top up was pretty good. We had pre-booked.
