Tempo run on treadmill at Keene Y. Three miles warm up at 7.1 mph, 7.3 mph and 7.5 mph. No AC so I was drenched in sweat. Tempo portion was really tough with the temperature and no air moving. Cruise intervals = 1 x 2 mile at 6:40, then 1 x 1.25 at 6:44, bear attack. 1 x 1.75 at 6:40. All tempo segments at one percent incline. Had some sips of gatorade before hand and Cheez it crackers late in afternoon. Looks like popcorn might also be a culprit.

Easy weaving through Keene. Bear attack that seemed to result from popcorn and lack of hydration. Recovery pace at 8:50.

Around Keene with uphill at five miles and down hill for about 1.5 after that. Around six miles on rail trail with good footing. A bit up on the way out and faster on the way back. Overall pace probably a bit too fast, especially on the trail section. Hamstring tightened after about 17 miles. No bear attacks, overall pace at 7:55.

Around Keene and out/back on rail trail again. Average pace around 8:00 with one bear attack after about three miles. Pretty warm evening. Legs felt pretty light and my form seemed good.

Long MP run per Pfitz. Eight miles averaging around 8:20 then 10 miles at MP. Started around 70 degrees on the way to a high over 90 for the day. Humid but not terrible and completely sunny with some shade along the way. MP segment averaged 7:18  but splits were inconsistent: out too hard, and slowed significantly for the final two miles. No potty breaks necessary, hooray. One pop tart before starting. Drank water and one small gatorade flask, but ran out of fluid at 15 miles.

Tempo on the treadmill. Sandwiched 6 miles at 6:43 between warm up and cool down. One percent incline. Felt so good by the final 1.5 miles of tempo, legs were cooking along and breathing and heart rate had really settled down.

Hard slog 20 miles. Shoes were squishy after ten miles. Shirt and shorts were soaked after about five. Probably near 90 percent humidity although the temperature wasn't too bad. Vitamin water with electrolytes. Exhausted but no shart aches, knock on wood.

Tempo run in warm, humid morning conditions. Cloudy with a bit of breeze. Three mile loop around Phelps and Strong Street, quick gulps of water and repeat. First three miles in 19:31, second three miles in 19:51 for overall average pace of 6:35. Tough on the breathing and heart rate and my shirt was stuck to me and soaked after warm up.
