AM - 4.3 miles from my hotel down to the Embarcadero and around AT&T Park.  Pretty smoky out from all of the fires. Not too many runners out.  Lots of folks walking around with surgical masks.

PM - 4 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime back in ATL.   Something is not right.  On most of my runs right around 5 mins into my run, I start to feel tightness or pressure in my cardio effort as if I am working hard - when I am not.  Also, my resting HR has been 7-8 bpm higher than before the Chicago marathon.  Methinks I am not fully recovered.  3 marathons this year - and 2 in the last 40 days.   Although my chasis (arms and legs etc.) feel fine, perhaps my engine (heart) still requires more rest and recovery.  Will give it some more time off of running and maybe do some light cross training for a week or so.

AM - indoor cycling quite easy - for about 25 mins.  Felt very relaxed and no issues of discomfort from an HR standpoint as described yesterday.
