PM-Easy 10 miles recovery.  Slow and easy not so much because of mileage or workouts, just running on an empty tank because of not taking the time to eat at work today. Need to quit that ASAP..

PM-No run. Other things to do.

AM-16 miles with the middle 10 progressively getting faster. About 2 miles cool down. Much better but still a little off today.  Really pushing the limits of these T-7s now as the ball of my foot is numb and also black and blue. Going to retire these bad boys once I reach a thousand miles on them. Awesome shoe.. Has been my favorite for the last 7 years or so.

PM-6 miles easy/medium effort.  A little slow at first but felt pretty good once I got warmed up.

PM-4 mile easy jog.

 Amazing how much traffic there is still on 7th at night. Daylight Savings you gotta love it. With the early morning light it's nice but still a trade off wouldn't you say?

AM-10 mile progression on the t-mill with 2 easy warmup miles then 6 at 10.5-10.7 and the last 2 at 11.0 mph.  Not equivalent to road pace but not bad either.

AM-Easy 8 mile wake up run. Hopefully get something longer in later today after family Christmas photos are done. It'll be interesting to see how they turn out this year.

PM-Easy 6 miles on the treadmill at 7/min pace.

Pretty successful week running wise even with some of the runs taken at some rather oddball hours. I think the most successful part of it was the fact that even though the mileage was high, the quality was still there in most aspects. Lots of higher end aerobic running coming at the end of progression runs insured that all muscle fibers were involved. This is causing me to start overeaching a bit in training now which is good as long I stay smart and follow with some easier down time later on.

AM-10 miles with 4 on the road and 6 at 10.5-10.7 on the treadmill.  Body was not reponding to this one like last time. It makes sense because even though I was well rested, the morning weight on the scale was lower than usual (4.5 lbs) and the legs just overall felt sluggish. So probably a combination of accumulated fatigue, glycogen depletion, hydration etc. Needless to say I cut it short and called it a day..

PM-No run.

AM- Early morning progressive run for 13 miles. About 10 miles at 10.5-10.9 with .5-1% incline. Somewhat better than last.. More than one day recovery would have helped but had to work it early today because of my schedule this week.
