LM warmup, 8.05 miles in 1:02:03, 7:42/mi, HR 147 w/ 12 x 12 sec Hill Sprints & stretching.

Legs a bit sore at first from yesterday but loosened up well and a good run resulted.  Hill sprints were meh.

LM warmup, 11 treadmill miles in 1:23:11, 7:33/mi, w/ 2 mile warmup @ incline 1, 5 x 1 mile repeats w/ 3 min rest @ incline 5 (6:17/5:37, 6:16/5:36, 6:13/5:34, 6:11/5:32, 6:16/5:36), 3 x 1 min on/off @ incline 10, 2.05 mile cooldown, core workout & stretching.

Woke up tired today and it didn't get any better.  Was dreading the workout so even though it was nice outside today, opted for the treadmill later.  The first repeat hurt but I settled in and got through all 5.  Could've probably squeezed out a 6th, but on the 3rd 1 min repeat I was glad I hadn't because I was toast.  Glad I got it done.

LM warmup, 14 mile progression run in 1:44:50, 7:29/mi, HR 156, w/ last 6 miles moderate (MP) effort & stretching.

Late day run.  Fortunately, the nasty weather didn't get here today, so I managed to catch a nice evening to run in.  Pushed the last 6 miles, most of which was downhill, so my knees and legs are feeling it.

Spent the day with mild to moderate nausea for some unknown reason.  Decided to give the body a break.

LM warmup, 8 treadmill miles in 1:00:56, 7:37/mi & stretching.

Runs like today's remind me why my occupation (sitting in front of a computer all day long) and running can be incompatible.  I obviously did not get up and move around enough today.  Everything was tight and took about 5 miles to loosen up.  Then I pushed the pace a bit.

LM warmup, 8.14 miles in 1:05:59, 8:06/mi, HR 141.

What a disaster.  Another long run cut way too short.  Just didn't have the energy to run, much less the energy to run long.  I knew it was bad at the start but by 5 miles I was just trying to get enough for a "normal" day.  Even with stopping when I did, my left achilles was sore.
