@sussexbythesea - I hope you feel better soon.
I went for a 3 mile run this morning and included some speed intervals. I was listening to a lecture about how people become excellent at something. The "10,000 hour" rule has been a popular idea, but the the speaker was saying it's not true. Take whatever you do for a living. You've done it for 10,000 hours but studies show we get worse at our jobs over time. So his theory is that to get better you need to invest quality time, and not just repeat bad habits. I thought about this in relation to my running and it's true that for the last few years I've been going through the motions and doing the same run at the same speed. I may be maintaining my fitness but I'm certainly not improving. So today I mixed it up and did speed intervals. Sure enough, my Garmin HRM said my workout was improving, not maintaining. So my inspirational thought for today is to think about what you want to do better and, rather than same old same old, think of a way to challenge yourself to improve.5 -

@Janet: I think that is true. I have a colleague that was put on leave the first half of this school year. He does the same thing day in and out and his quality of work was getting sloppy to the point that he was putting kids at risk. He was on probation all of last year and he had another issue before the year was out so he is waiting to see if he has his job back. I always felt that I would become stagnant unless I pushed myself out of my comfort zone.
As far as running, I think that it is like losing weight. You have to change up what you eat or your body adjusts. I also think the body develops muscle memory. I always had running routes and I found that reversing them really changed things. I also did intervals, hill training runs and hill repeats to mix things up. Then I threw trail running in the mix. Now that is a whole different animal. Your time slows tremendously. So glad your body seems to have responded to your change of routine.
Feb. 3: Adding 16 3/4 miles of walking 2.75 miles and x biking 14 miles
