Changing mindset

5 miles at LBL yesterday after work in 51 minutes.  I mixed in two 1/4 mile sections at a much faster pace.

I'm trying to talk myself into changing my focus to overall fitness instead of  "just getting in my miles".  I'm really going to try to keep it simple.  The last couple of weeks I've been doing some isometrics for some core work.  The things I'm doing feel like I'm working my abs pretty good and the upper body stuff I'm doing is not adversely affecting my left shoulder.  I do still want to at least maintain the 20 mile per week average I've kept going for 12+yrs!!

The "keep it simple plan" also has me doing one run a week at a faster pace than usual.   Either getting in some track work or simply mixing in some "speed play" during my a normal run is the idea.

The goal is to get stronger in hopes of alleviating the weakness in my piriformis/ glute area and also increasing my core strength.

Feb......16 miles
