It's cool how you arranged for a week-ful of running partners. To go old-school (are analogies still a thing?), running partner : pace :: thermos : heat. That is, as a thermos helps keep hot things hot and cold things cold, so a running partner helps keep hard runs hard and easy runs easy. Unfortunately, thermi do not make for photogenic "us-ies".
Your discussion about sleep resurrected an article [1] I first read years back, by someone named Becky Wade (you've probably never heard of her). I appreciated your honest experience of wrestling with tech. It's something we all deal with; your discussion served as a reminder of tradeoffs and of the empowerment that comes with a deliberate (if necessarily imperfect) approach. I'm interested to see how your relationship with gadgets evolves over the training cycle.
Also, if anyone claims to have seen me attempting the pt/chiro challenge, complete with spoken spell---pure balderdash.
over time i'm super interested to see how running with folks tests the limits of the 'go slow' goals you shared last week. pumped for you that this week was so social, while honoring your tempo goals.
Fun post!

Keep calm and carry on!
