Reflections on the way to the Philly Marathon

January

  • Renewed my gym membership (took a pause and was running outside mostly). Needed more weights and strength training options for the colder days.

  • Tried cupping, dry needling, and continuing cryotherapy.

  • Strained my calf after a 10 mile treadmill run. After chiropractor and self-guided rehab, decided to take 2 weeks off to rest.

February

  • Not running is hard, but accepting the rest is necessary. Philly won the Super Bowl. Kendrick Lamar served up the finest Black codes.
