Short easy run after all-day travel to VA. Legs felt pretty good after being cooped up in airplanes all day, and I've felt worse running on this little sleep. More sleep tonite.

Ran in evening after work in VA all day...warmer than I'm used too and quite a bit warmer although not as bad as feared.  At sea level and course was pretty flat throughout.  Goal for repeats was sub-5K pace (5:54/mi) and I hit those times pretty easily.  Looking back I was probably hammering a bit hard but the first several felt really good.....fluid form, smooth, almost easy.  Later ones were tougher but well manageable.  Was worried that the effects of travel and a different work schedule might make this workout poor but no such problems.

Very warm and humid today made this run difficult.  Got to give runners who live in this soup and still run credit.  Plus, another run after a long work day.  Was trying to stay under 6:20/mi on the 8 minute repeats but was just hanging on for #2 & 3.

6.5 miles in 50:00, 7:41/mi, HR 152.

Soreness and stiffness didn't recede until about 3 miles into run.  Feeling much more beat up than normal this week, despite the reduced mileage.  The foreign runs, flat terrain, heat & humidity, work, off-schedule, lack of deep sleep all conspire against a good taper.  Hopefully I can pull it together this next week.

12 miles in 1:26:27, 7:12/mi, HR 155. 

Fast finish long run: first 6 miles easy and last 6 miles at MP with splits 6:49, 6:50, 6:43, 6:53, 6:42, 6:24 (avg 6:43.5/mi).  Ran this evening after another day of travel/work.  Weather was a bit cooler and less humid today so things felt a bit easier.  Still not completely rested but managed the MP portion better than the last few....some gradual inclines/descents but nothing significant...mostly flat.  A pretty decent run all things considered.
