i'm back and it couldn't have happened at a better time. three weeks of achy bones, tough runs and poor recovery had me worried and a little miserable at times no doubt. i hit 95 miles last week with two solid efforts and have come out of it feeling strong and relatively healthy. also hit three yoga sessions last week...i really enjoy yoga and think it's been a huge benefit for body and mind the past few months. sometimes my mind rolls out of control and yoga is one of the few times i can stay focused and relaxed enough to just let the mind go free. it's also much more difficult than i imagined it would be and i appreciate the challenge to improve and progress each time i'm in that room.

transrockies is quickly approaching. the hay is in the barn. i feel calm, relaxed, and soon i'll feel rested.
