How was everyone's weekend? Sorry for the bit of radio silence, last week ended up being busy at work and you know how that goes.
I am continuing to do speedwork and man... I both hate it and love it at the same. But it's necessary to get faster. This past weekend, I was in Baltimore to run the Baltimore Half Marathon (state #19). It was a challenging course (who knew Baltimore was so hilly?), but I ended up running my third fastest half marathon. I was pretty excited and ready to do some more work. Maybe on a flatter course, another PR is possible? I'll have a full race recap soon, but I am very happy about the outcome.

These repeats were tough and I ended up doing all above pace. Thinking I might need to reconsider my speedwork pace.
