I've been feeling a bit lost the past month. I'm wildly goal oriented when it comes to running. If Mike tells me to foam roll ten times a day to heal an injury, I foam roll ten times a day. If there's a strength exercise I need to do to prevent an injury I'll do it every single day when I'm chasing down a goal. I'm not afraid of a little hard work.
