Throat and lungs are feeling rough, finally seeing the ENT next week and hopefully can get that figured out. Hopefully I can get some nasal spray budesonide, that'll help a lot with the upcoming races.

Feeling low energy on runs lately. Probably just too focused on getting the new house figured out. Realistically it's going to be months before this project is finished and I need to limit my focus on it- but there do be a lot to figure out and plan- I just need to spend a little less time on it.

Warmed up 3 mile warm up

4 miles at 5:55 pace. Felt good the first 2-3 miles and then got hard towards the end. The lungs are still having some trouble.

Mile in 5:22

2 quarter miles at 5:20 pace.

3 mile cooldown.

I warmed up and cooled down in my new Nike Structure 26 shoes and I'm a huge fan of them. It's kind of hard to predict what shoes I'll like until I've done some longer running in then, when I first put these on they felt blocky but they felt incredibly smooth today. Don't seem great for workouts but for 6:30-8 pace they seem amazing.
