No running today.  Too busy with family and church things.  Plus I think I needed a break from running.

PM - 5 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime.  Felt really off.  It may have been because I took yesterday as a rest day - and having not taken a day off for more than 3 weeks - body  is used to running and not resting.  Hope things reset for tomorrow.  

AM - 5k with Finn before work this morning because he really needed to get out and exercise.  

PM - treadmill workout 2 x 2 miles @ HM pace - which was 6:40 per mile on this treadmill today - with an 800 rest.  1.5 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down.  Probably stretching the idea that this was HM pace (perhaps 10k) but things went well and I felt much better than I did yesterday.  

PM - pressed for time on a busy day - just 3 miles on the treadmill.  

AM - 5k with Finn before work - as he would not allow me to NOT take him for a run.  

PM - treadmill tempo - 6.25 miles at MP - which on this treadmill was 6:47 pace - which I really don't believe, but whatever.  HR remained in the high 140's which was a high tempo effort but not quite to where I would expect it in a raceday situation.  I was not hugely motivated for the workout today - but felt very solid in the effort.  Had I been more motivated, I may have possibly pushed the pace more to increase the HR.  1.5 mile warm up and short cool down.  

Think I will do one more decent workout and a long run on this cycle, before resting up. 

PM - late 4 miles with Finn on the golf course after work.  

AM - just under 7 miles with Dan and Finn early as Dan’s daughter had a cross country meet at Milton High School this morning - which is a big invitational that I would have liked to attend- but have another commitment this morning.  He sent me photos.
