Started to do stairs at work tonight and within short time could feel that I was in need of recovery. Although I might have pressed on, the fabric on my first pair of shorts finally gave out and the elastic in the liner was rubbing my leg raw, so I gave it up.

Took yesterday off to allow more recovery. My body just seems to need it for some reason, probably not enough sleep. Did 4 sets of 3 groups of stadium stairs at work with about 1 min rest between each set tonight. Easy pace (7:35ish). Rough road equivalent of 9 miles.

Absolutely viscious run today. Sunny, 65 degrees, beautiful, but wind out of hell (30mph, gusting over 40). First half of the run was fabulous, but didn't realize what sort of wind I was dealing with until I made the turn. Fighting it was crazy and I really just gave over to it. Amazing what that can take out of you. Walked the 2 .25 mile hills into the wind and had to stop and rest another time. Ave pace for the for the 8.75 was 7:33s.

Nice and easy first 3 miles stadium stairs at work, then 6 miles of them around 7:25 pace (but still feeling very easy).

Serious struggle this week to find time/motivation to put in the miles, taking them where I can get them. 9 miles stadium stairs at work @ ave pace of 7:18.
