Fun weekend full of Tepanyaki, nachos, burritos, peanut m&m’s, etc. Needed to start the week off right. Did 10.5 mile run through Provo this morning. Felt so good.
How do you recover from your sometimes not-so-healthy weekends?

Missed my personal best by 3 mins at oly-distance (1500 meter swim, 25 mile bike, 6.2 mile run). Stinks because I had a really bad run… legs were shot after going too hard on the bike. Rookie mistake.
