Running + Strength I’m not sure when 47 miles started to feel like a lower mileage week, but it kind of did. This level of running felt very manageable — I guess because most of the weekday runs were closer to an hour rather…

I recognize this feeling. It took me a while to accept that Instagram (quit in 2021 after this post) had basically become my new Facebook (quit in 2016). I need to accept that Reddit has become my new Instagram. And I’m really not willing…
