AM - 4 miles with Finn, mostly off-lead, on the golf course this morning.

PM - 6 miles at lunchtime. Hot again - 97 I think. But actually did not feel as hot as yesterday. Might have been a breeze.

So I am having this internal debate with myself. About 6 - 7 weeks ago - I was reasonably pleased with how I was feeling in my training runs. Did a couple of races...felt profoundly slow - decided to do some speed workouts -- never actually raced any after about 5 weeks of at least 1 workout per week...but was really fatigued and not enjoying even the easy days. Did not even want to race.

Something is "off". Not sure if the stress of the workouts set me back or the heat or not enough iron supplements...anyway

My debate is whether to increase my mileage volume now (eliminating the fast workouts for a while) gradually over the remainder of the summer - or take a short break and decrease mileage for a few weeks. I would like to be ready to run a fall marathon.

PM - 10 easy aerobic miles on the treadmill at lunchtime. Wore the HRM - kept things in check - and not running outside today was a plus with reasonable indoor temps.
