Heart rate still more elevated than I like it to be.  Over 80 degree weather at 5:30 AM doesn’t help.  7:24 average

Felt so good this morning.  Probably should have done my long run since I have a show tonight and two tomorrow.

Always feel rough after a show the night before.  But, got a 12 miler in.  Miles 8-12 were a mental struggle.  6:53 average.

Abbreviated run.  I twisted my ankle pretty hard.  It’s a little sore so better safe than sorry.

I’ve been babying my ankle for the last few days.  It did well today until the last mile or so.  Then it got touchy.  Hopefully I didn’t overdo it. Hour run. 7:06 average.

A lot more fatigued than I thought I would be from yesterday.  Treadmill workout.  20 minute warm up. 8 x 2 minutes on/off.  Had a really bad side stitch.  Short cool down.

Hot, tired legged run. It’s nice running later in the morning, but it’s definitely still summer!

Missed yesterday. Ran Classic Race 10k. Suffered massive side stitch in the fourth mile.  Stopped three times and lost two minutes in the last two miles. Good times.   Weird side stitch in every run this week.  Two mile cooldown.
