AM - about 4.25 miles with Dan and Finn this morning before work.  A bit sore and a little tired - took it easy for the first mile and a half.  No time for a lunch run today - may be best for a little less volume.  Weight is way down - mileage is up for the last couple of weeks - need to increase my intake.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn before work. 

PM - treadmill workout at lunchtime.  3 x 1 mile @ HM pace  / LT Heartrate - with a 400 rest.  On Daniels Tables HM pace should have been around 6:47 for me right now based on my most recent 10k, or ~161 bpm HR - just below LT.   So the treadmill I used at the gym was clearly not calibrated properly because that pace was not getting close to my HR  desired range - so I gradually moved the pace/speed up in the first rep until I came close to hitting the target HR.   Nailed it midway into the second rep and all of the third rep.  15 min warm up and about a mile cool down.  Good workout.  Right hamstring/groin had a light "dagger" of pain but nothing too serious.  I thought about doing a 4th rep, but thought better of it.
