LM warmup, 14 mile progression run in 1:43:36, 7:41/mi, HR 154, w/ last 3 miles @ HMP/MP (6:17 down, 6:18 down, 6:36 up) & stretching.

Still feeling very worn out.  2 GI pit stops.  Run went better than I figured based on how I felt.  The last (uphill) mile was pretty rough.  Ready for the taper magic to start so I can start feeling better.

LM warmup, 8.1 miles in 1:01:20, 7:34/mi, HR 147 & stretching.

Sun, rain and hail.  One GI pit stop.  Tired but run started okay and slowly became pretty good.  Was able to stride out a bit on the downhill.  Garmin decided it doesn't want to upload data for the 2nd day in a row, so looks like its time for a hard reset.

LM warmup, 9.26 miles in 1:07:30, 7:17/mi, HR 159, w/ 2 mile warmup, 4 x 2K @ MP - 15 sec w/ 60 sec rest, 2 mile cooldown & stretching.

Nice weather again.  The 2K repeats were pretty good, but after #3, I had to make another GI pit-stop, so a much longer rest between 3 and 4.  Plus, I was dealing with abdominal cramping throughout most of the repeats, starting out mild with #1 and growing to severe at the conclusion of 3, back to mild to moderate for 4 and the cooldown.  Later in the evening the cramping got worse again.  Tomorrow is my dr's appointment (finally) with the GI doc.

LM warmup, 8 miles in 1:02:54, 7:51/mi, HR 149 & stretching.

Made it through the entire run without a GI pit-stop and only mild cramping.  Got some meds from the doc while they run some tests to help with matters, but I'll be testing them the next few days to make sure they don't cause other issues.  Legs were a bit stiff and sore from yesterday and moving a pile of woodchips that got delivered today.

Not quite as easy as I would've liked.  Lousy rainy and cold weather.  GI distress was back.

LM warmup, 5.08 miles in 37:20, 7:20/mi, HR 160, w/ 2 mile warmup, 2 miles @ MP (6:31 - down, 6:55 - up) & stretching.

Blah.  HR way too high for the effort.  Effort a bit too high for MP.  Just feeling a bit whipped, but on the way to Boston tomorrow, so between taking tomorrow as a rest day and keeping things low-key on Sunday, perhaps I'll perk up by Monday.
