ten mile long run snuck in during sunday nap time. frozen beard, fogged goggles, sweaty hands. highlight of the week was wednesday evening’s hour of hills in fresh snow and finding some single-track trails that i had never run before.

this week felt emotional. not completely sure why and i guess it’s not any different than the last few weeks. therapy has been digging into a couple things and running has organized, jumbled, and reorganized a lot of those things. the concepts have been consistently causing tears during the higher mileage runs. i am assuming this will continue and i look forward to it.
