AM: 10 miles, just easy running on the bridge.
PM: 10 miles at lunch with Quint, new route.
I've had a kind of subterranean fatigue circling around me recently, but the walls came crashing in yesterday. It was probably a good thing I had no time to run. I felt like a ghost dragging chains around. Right before the crash though, I had the first glimmers that the recent excessive mileage was starting to click.
Work has been light over the last few weeks, which has allowed me to train my head off. Things are picking back up, so the challenge will be to stay employed and train my head off.
I signed up for a 5k on Father’s Day, partly to mark the transition into specific marathon training, partly because I could get permission.
Tomorrow, the forecast predicts a morning dew point around 65, which probably won’t happen again for 4 months. I’m planning a 10 mile MP tempo, which I would normally do every 2-3 weeks during specific phase. Usually the dew point is pegged out at 75 or worse from June through September, which will make that workout much harder than it should be.
