While it's frustrating to see how wrong I've been treating myself after a race (sit down for a bit, hit the foam roller and celebrate with beer) -- it's refreshing to wrap my head around some good practices.

I'm suffering from a bit of a strain in my calf muscle after my first 6k+ run following my half-marathon -- but I'm fired up to pracitce smart training moving forwards here. 2019 is going to be my year!
