| 8 very easy. 7:50 avg. Lungs felt like my 2-year old daughter was sitting on them.

| 6 x mile @ T pace w/ 1:00 rests + 2 x 30s fast. Perfect weather with 44°F and almost not wind. I'm still coughing a bit, but my runs have been feeling better and I figured I'm in good enough shape to try a workout.

I wanted to work on running more by feel, so I checked myself at halfway on the first rep and then didn't glance at the watch aside from the final split. That first rep felt a little hard (always does), but then I felt very much in control. Felt a little fatigue going into #5 and #6, but nothing beyond the fatigue I want this run to stimulate. Very happy with how it went.
I'm having some runner's knee post-Houston, so I pulled out the knee sleeve post-run. Will wear it most of the day, and maybe for a few easy runs until things feel better.

| AM - 8 easy. 7:18 avg, 7:42 first mile. I'm keeping a watch on my easy runs for a few weeks. I like making my easy days easy, but I think I was starting to take that to an extreme. 7:20 is fine. 7:50 should only happen on pure recovery days. I saw a lot of 7:50s in my Houston buildup. I'm not looking at it during the run, just using it afterwards to gauge my pace.
PM - 4 stroller miles w/ Rylie. Of course after the watch comment I forgot to bring it on this run. No matter. It started raining on us, so I averaged a pretty quick clip to get the little girl inside. Estimating 7:15 average.

| Long run at City Park. ~60F and breezy. Warmed up 6 then went into a 10-mile tempo-ish effort. A little slower than marathon pace, though honestly I'm not really sure where my marathon pace is. Since I went hard Thursday I wanted to keep this under control.
I stopped twice in the first 2 miles. Once for bathroom, then I stopped by my car to ditch the shirt and swap the Launches for my Lunaracers. I couldn't stand trying to run faster in the Launches. Doesn't feel good. The rest of the run was uneventful.
I found a great loop in City Park that's just over 3 miles and has one of the few runable hills in New Orleans. It's an overpass over the interstate. I'll take what I can get.
