It's hard to believe April has gone by so quickly. This month has gone by fast, if only because this month has been so fucking busy. That's about the only rational explanation I can think of for the level of intensity and the general lack of sense of time passing.

Today had to be a relatively easy run. I was thinking about long slow distance, but I've been largely resistant to one of my coworker's entreaties to go CrossFit with him. I realize one thing - as I get older, when I don't really care about something, I really don't give two shits about it. That has been the tale of the last few years, but that's really come out in the last few months when I don't have anything to prove to anyone. Today was not recovery, but at the same time, it wasn't quite the LSD I intended it to be. Well, I guess it was if I consider relative effort and heart rate.

Today is ANZAC Day, so today marked my introduction of Michelle Jenneke's pre-hurdling dance for the rest of my coworkers since there was no way in hell I was waking up at 4:45am for an ANZAC Day dawn ceremony.  Not going to happen.  Not with my work hours.

The attack of the Smiths continues unabated.
