Okay, so a few things stuck out this week... First, I need to get back on my foam rolling and stretching routing and STAT! My back has been screwy lately (due to my fibromyalgia, sleeping on a futon, home renovations, etc) and in the evenings the last thing I want to do is crawl down on the floor to get my stretch on, but I know my body needs it. Second, I'm so thankful I am in the middle of my taper because it seems like we have house stuff 95% of the day, so taking a break from running all the miles has meant I could either sleep in a bit before heading out for a run or not having to jam so much into so little time. Third, although I complain the humidity I'm so thankful we haven't had to deal with the summer weather the majority of the county has had recently - holy heatwave Batman! PS Can't believe my next ultra is less than a week away!

How were your workouts this past week?

My workouts have been lackluster due to the heat but hopefully I will get back on track this week. Good luck with your upcoming ultra!

I'm in Iowa, and we did have Batman's heat wave most of last week! Now, we're flirting with mid-60's temps and it feels cold. One extreme or the other. Best of luck on your Ultra!
