I am one with the levee and the levee with me

16 mile city loop from Audobon Park, 7:15 avg. Most of the group didn't show up, but I made a new friend from the Bay Area who ran with me as part of his longer run. Nice morning for a long run.

10 easy including 6 x 100m strides

Dropped my mother-in-law off at the airport this morning, so that nixed the morning run. Only had time for 5 with Rylie in the evening. I'll take it. Better than a zero.

7 x 1000m on the levee w/ 3:00 rests + 2 x 30s sprints (paused 30s after last 1k before 30s sprint to simulate race finish). 

Good conditions: low-60s air, 61F dew point. Light headwind on the last 3 reps.... Don't know if that explains the slowdown, but lately I've been consistently seeing a drop in pace into even a light breeze.

Would have liked to see the pace continue drop on the last 3, but I'm not too worried about it. 

10 easy. The baby slept almost all the way until my alarm went off. Uninterrupted sleep.... I've missed your warm embrace.

6 easy. Most likely all I can get in today.

AM - 2 x 1600m (2 lap jog, 4:00-4:15 rest), 4 x 800m (1 lap jog, 2:10-2:20 rest) @ 5k pace at the City Park track. It was warm and somewhat humid; 76F air, 67F dew point.

The last couple 800s got hard and just started to touch on pain a 5k should cause. Up to that point I felt great. The fitness is coming.

PM - Added 4 easy stroller mile w/ Rylie.
