Cloudy w/ sunbreaks and humid (70F).  First few miles very easy, last moderate miles felt pretty good but started tiring towards the end.  Felt good during run, some pain during core/stretching.

LM/LL warmup, 6 miles easy in 48:26, 8:04/mi, HR 155, 6 x 8 sec hill sprints, 1 mi cooldown walk w/ dogs, PU/Crunches ladder, Myrtl, and stretching.

Overcast & humid (70F).  A couple of twinges from the hamstring attachment during the run, but post run hip/groin was definitely bugging me.

LM/LL warmup, 7 easy miles with 8 x 20 sec Fartleks in 56:00, 8:00/mi, HR 158, 1 mi cooldown walk w/ dogs, McM Core L2, and stretching.

Overcast with some misting (68F).  Felt better today, no pain during run or even Fartleks (was ready to punt if pain had manifested today).  Some during exercises & stretching, but seemed like it was back to normal.  Focused on keeping deep core muscles active during the run, which may have helped.  Or maybe it was the stability shoes.  Or maybe just Tuesday.

LM/LL warmup, 8 easy miles (2nd half easy+) in 1:03:58, 7:59/mi, HR 153, PU/Crunches ladder, Myrtl, & stretching.

Overcast, humid, and rainy (63F).  First half kept the effort very easy in the cool but muggy weather.  Started picking up the pace on the downhill return, but when the skies opened up at mile 5, I found myself picking up the pace more.  Then I got it in my head to catch the 8 minute guy, which I did.....barely.

Last couple of miles I could feel my left hip flexor complaining, but by keeping my deep core activated, things were fine.  Been attacking the leg/hip/glutes with the roller the last couple of days and that's helped, so I need to keep it up.  This week will be a pretty significant mileage bump.

LM/LL warmup, 6 mi easy run in 47:51, 7:58/mi, HR 152, 6 x 8 sec hill sprints, 1 mi cooldown walk w/ dogs, stretching.

Cloudy and cool (63F).   Tired but once I got going felt okay.  Didn't have quite the normal pep in the hill sprints....maybe some mental caution imposed since I felt tired today.  Everything felt okay, aside from the odd pain here or there.  Like the spot high on the right lateral quad that is tender to the touch.  Huh?  Took a day off from core workout.

LM/LL warmup, 10 miles in 1:17:53, 7:47/mi, HR 161 with last 3 miles moderate (7:01 down, 6:59 down, 7:29 up), 1 mi cooldown walk w/ dogs, McM Core L2, and stretching.

Took yesterday off because I was pretty worn out.  Shifted schedule to the left 1 day so long runs are now on Saturdays, which makes Fri a normal off day.  Felt good running today....no pain or twinges, but pain was back during core work.  Off to work in the yard.
