fell off the damn rollers again! Had 3 minutes to go; almost got back on but then just said frack it!

Keep a nice steady, easy pace on the trainer. Enjoy the recovery week!

had an appointment with the physical therapist to get a checkup on my running form. He praised me for my "marked improvement", but told me I had more improvements to make. He ran me through some changes and wants to see me back in 3 weeks.
