AM - 4 miles easy before work.  Very humid this morning.  Noticing that I am running faster but with the same easy intensity effort on these morning runs.

 

PM - 8 miles at middle level intensity aerobic effort on the treadmill.  Was not as fast or as smooth as Friday's effort.

AM - easy 5 miles before work.

PM - 12 miles at 70% HRR on the treadmill at the YMCA after work.  Averaged 7:45 per mile - very smooth and relaxed.  Delaney and Riley both came too and each did 45 mins of running.

AM - easy 3 mile shake-out run - perhaps a little faster than it should have been, but I was pressed for time this morning and could only just squeeze this one in. 

 

PM - busy day at work - 7.5 miles at lunch - light fartlek workout.   Much more humid than I had thought it was under overcast skies.  Felt ok, but not great.

AM - busy workday ahead with meetings and then a dinner afterwards - so out the door at 4 am.  12 miles low intensity aerobic effort.  Humid and a bit rainy. 

PM - after a full day of business meetings I was able to squeeze in 4 miles on the treadmill before our business dinner.

AM - easy 4 miles before another long workday of meetings.

 

PM - after work - 9 miles on the treadmill at 6:45 pace - high aerobic effort.  Actually ran the first half at 6:40 pace and then the second at 6:49 pace as I was edging on 80% effort with some cardiac drift.  Not as great as last Friday's effort with this, but good progress nonetheless.  Classifying this as marathon pace for now.

AM - 6 miles easy.  Felt like I needed a easy shake out run rather than a long run - so I may do a longer run this afternoon on the treadmill.

PM - 15 miles outside around 5:45 pm - which I thought would be cool enough but the mid 80's hung around and while I felt pretty relaxed and in control of things, I became dehydrated and so the last 3-4 miles were pretty slow.
