| PM - just under 5.25 miles with the last half at or just below tempo effort in VondelPark in Amsterdam. Travelled here on business for a board meeting today after an early flight from London. Heading back home tomorrow morning as I need to be home for a wedding - so this was a tight turnaround. Good run today.

| AM - 4 easy trail miles after a long flight back from Amsterdam. I had planned to run before my flight but overslept - and I think the easy run after a long flight helps reset the time zone for me for some reason.

| AM - 11 mile long run with Darryl on the Forsyth trail - ran very evenly and controlled right at 9 min pace with solid consistency. Still quite humid / warm unfortunately - looking forward to some truly fall weather soon.

| AM - just under 4 miles at a very easy pace with Dan in the neighborhood. We spoke about his knee issues and his "doom" outlook of likely needing a knee replacement in the future and maybe no longer being able to run - which was kinda depressing. But we talked through some stuff and he sent me his most recent MRI which seemed to suggest that a partial knee replacement instead of a total - but that will only be when the injections and knee brace no longer provide relief of discomfort. I did another mile on the treadmill when I returned.

| AM - in NYC on business - managed to get up early enough to do a workout. 3 x 12 mins at HM pace - or HR between 153-157 with a 3 min recovery after a 1.5 mile warm up and a 1 mile or so cool down from my hotel on 48th and Lex up to Central Park and around the reservoir a couple of times before heading back. Lots of fast runners out. I nailed the workout on the HR targets. I had loaded the workout into my Garmin and it had alerts to let me know when I was in the right HR zone. I was hoping my pace would correspond to my recent paces on the treadmill, but that was not the case. Granted the terrain had some hills and it was windy - but my avg pace was just under 7:30 per mile rather than the usual sub-7 min miles I had been recording on the treadmill. Overall this was a very good workout - I completed 36 mins of quality running - keeping the HR in the targetted range - and though this was hard - it was controlled and manageable to where although I do not think I could maintain that pace for a full half at this point in my training, it felt like I could get there with some additional training.

| AM - 11 miles on the treadmill with a fast finish final 2 miles. Isaias hurricane remnants impacted the weather - with wind and rain - lots of branches and debris on the streets - luckily had uninterrupted power - a number of friends lost electricity this am. Good run - controlled and locked in on HR.

| AM - 4 miles very easy following yesterday's long run. Checked /tracked 5 friends doing Chicago today. Fair amount of FOMO - but still ok that I have retired from racing marathons. Richie had a nice race with a negative split and Ben crushed at 2:48 today which was a 6 min PR.

| AM - Treadmill tempo workout 2 x 18 mins at subthreshold with a 3 min rest between after a 1.5 mile warm up and about a half mile cool down. Decent consistency between today at last Tuesday's 3 x 12 mins outside in NYC. Treadmill sensor calibration was a bit off when I got to faster paces - as compared to what the treadmill display showed. But the HR effort was what I was seeking and that worked well today.

| AM - 12 miles today - early. Darryl joined for 9 or so of them. Weather changed to fall overnight - temps in the low 40's with wind made for a nice run with good conversation.
