“Yesterday there had been merriment at lunch, a lot of teasing and energy.”

Ran a speed session yesterday with no race in sight. Why? bc I can control the controllables and it gives me #hope, #happiness, and a sense of #normalcy. I want to be ready when I can race again. Also needed a break from #thesis writing 😜#phdlife #runner
