Personal:

I know a secret technique for opening mangos taught me by a Wolof sorcerer. I was briefly a political appointee at the U.N. I am intimately familiar with a disciple of David Hume.

Feeling very fatigued, so flipped my usual rest day.

4 mi with DG at whatever pace, then 3 at about 7:30. Filthy rain and swirling wind. It was OK after I was warmed up. Still, got home soaked.

530 with DG + Fremont to 105th. Lovely morning. Legs felt vewy vewy good. (Maybe it was the IP I took before going to bed.) Only other news to report: quite a bit of gas, successfully passed. This is a skill.

530 with DG + Fremont to 105th. Chilly. Was feeling pretty lackadaisical after a nice seven hours of sleep but after some internal kibbitzing slipped nicely into gear on mi 5 and the last one felt pretty good.  Slight emergency re-entering nice warm house. Must remember to evacuate previous evening's burrito in advance.

Bear of a day. At work until very late and never got my run in. I felt it going to bed: very jumpy, hard to put myself down. Bum feeling.

530 with DG + Fremont to 105th. Had to restrain myself from adding another 7 to make up for yesterday; or rather, I thought about it for a nanosecond or two and oh-so-virtuously rejected the idea. Poor sleep. Thought I was going to have to settle for about 7:30s on the return trip but once again somehow snapped into gear and ended up doing 6:20 on my last mi. Felt good to sustain a sub-6 pace for a bit, let's pretend that feels almost doable.  I think I'll do seven tomorrow and Sunday.

Splurged on some dry-fit shorts and shirt. Going for the Johnny Cash look. On the test drive, they seemed to be fairly nimble: 10k at MP+ in 42:31 (1-7:00, 2-6:48, 3-6:58, 4-6:55, 5-6:48, 6-6:43, .2-1:19). This was not at all labored and by the end felt almost like jogging (though when I tried to surge through the 6:30 barrier at about mi 5.5 I could definitely feel the effort).

Postscript: mild case of Logan Fielding Syndrome. Don't know whether it was the new shirt or the slightly faster pace, but looks like I'd better grease up next time out.
