It's crazy how well you get to know your body, especially when something is not right. My wife claims I am just nuts about 6 weeks out from a race because I overanalyze any tweak or twinge that is not normal. As you said, you get use to exercising in pain when you do endurance sports so it's easy to fixate on little aches and pains that may seem out of the ordinary. Glad you were able to push through. Loved seeing that sub 8 pace and hoping you can pull it off. Happy Running!

Thank you Jeff! Spot on about overanalyzing everything. I am definitely reaching that part of my cycle where every little thing becomes a big deal for me for a minute or two hahaha. Keep kicking butt!

The physical is real…but so is the mental side. Take care of both. Good word here , Josh.
