2019 Fitness Summary

After focusing on an average of 50 miles/week last year I decided to just run and let my fitness and health in charge of my training.  I see a lot of people get in trouble with putting a goal or race in front of their fitness and health and it almost always ends in disappointment. 

General Stats

Following Holiday Lake I've battled a couple bio-mechanical issues.  I never felt great this year and am looking to work some of these out in 2020.  Always work to be done
