Insomnia night last night, so I slept in and ran on the treadmill. Just a nice slow boring treadmill run.

Part fartlek run, part tempo run. My brain was scattered today. Some days it is hard to focus. 20 minute warm up. (2.65 miles) 2 x 1-2-3-2-1 minutes with 1-1-2-1-1 minute recoveries. I originally planned three sets, but wasn't really feeling the workout. I was over four miles at the end of two sets, so I decided to just finish hard to six miles, with the final mile all out. The paces looked like this: 6:21, 6:28, 6:20, 6:29, 6:13, 5:48. 6:16 average for six miles. I think I need something more structured later this week.

I listened to a great interview with Blake Russell on my run today. Lately, I am particularly motivated by fast Master's runners. I must be showing my age. 7:46 average. I tried to stay nice and easy. I can tell I ran hard yesterday.

I felt extra tired and super sore yesterday. I decided to take an extra rest day. Today, I ran ten easy. I plan to hit it pretty hard for my last long run before racing.

Long run with workout. Forty minutes easy. 10-8-6-4-2-1 minute intervals with 5-4-3-2-1 minute recoveries. Recovered to 14 miles, and finished with a hard mile. 7:31, 7:23, 7:12, 7:14, 7:10, 6:45, 6:31, 6:55, 6:02, 6:33, 6:22, 6:10, 6:29, 6:28, 6:15. Weird all over splits. Rolling hill run. Spent some of my run at Wheeler Farm. Such a beautiful place to run on a gorgeous morning. 6:44 average.
