Step by step, mile by mile

off

AM - 6 miles, 6:07 pace. took it easier the first few miles since i couldn't run yesterday, then upped the pace to something a bit brisker for the last mile and a half in 8:12. felt pretty comfortable dipping under 5:30 pace for that long.

AM - 8 miles, 6:26 pace. it was hot, bright and humid early plus my urine tint this morning let me know my hydration since my last run has been piss-poor, so there was a lot of suffering on the backroads today. really wanted to go for 11 but by 8 my HR had been jacked for a bit, my muscles were starting to cramp, and i'd been dealing with sweat in my eyes since like mile #4, so i caved.

PM - plyos/core

sotd: cutthroat committee - key glock

AM - 8 miles on the backroads. first 7 at 6:09 pace, then jogged the last mile because my left achilles was a little tight. i was probably being overcautious, but why risk it. very hot and humid again; i think i'm going back to starting the runs at 6 instead of 8, which honestly probably won't make much of a difference considering how ridiculous the humidity is at sunrise. like getting to choose the bullet you're about to get shot with

sotd: unfinished sympathy - massive attack

off

AM - 6 miles on hilly backroads, 6:26 pace. been feeling less like running and more of a guessing game to how far i can get before the humidity kills me as of late. today's the halfway point of my stay in texas so i've got about 10 more days of it
