AM - 5. accidentally slept in by about 45 minutes.

AM2 - off. normally i don't put too much stake in my HR, but in the ~90 minutes after my run the lowest it got was 75(my RHR yesterday was 31). was also jacked on the 5 miles of easy jogging. not sure what's up with that but i'll take it as a signal to not run again this morning.

PM - 15. was originally just planning on a shakeout, but by the first few steps i knew i'd probably hit 15 miles or die trying. happy to be in that mindstate, but i didn't start my run until 9 since i thought i was doing 5, so not a lot of time to sleep tonight. HR was back in the low 30's by noon and barely hit 130 on the run, so that's good too.

AM - 5. didn't feel half bad, light fartlek the last couple miles

AM2 - 10 with a 4-mile of quarter-mile on, quarter-mile off in 23:50. jumped straight into it after 3 miles of easy running, and stopped for about a minute after it to change back into trainers. just a little something to mix up the tedium and monotony of base training, i didn't think i could break 24 on a normaly 4-mile tempo with my current fitness so it was a nice surprise. happy with it, especially considering this made 30 miles in less than 12 hours. did some new stuff before the run that i'm mentioning in case it helped, namely meditating and light resistance band work beforehand, plus taking my multivitamin i usually take after the run instead.

PM - 15. had some stomach cramps after 11 miles but then migos versace remix came on shuffle and i found the strength to power through. legs felt pretty good for 45 miles in just under 24 hours(started this one a little earlier than yesterday to catch up on sleep)

AM - 5. certainly not on fresh legs right now but they aren't breaking down at the moment.

AM2 - 10. not much faster than the shakeout; guess i used up any speed i had for today yesterday morning. still, mileage is mileage.

PM - 15. perfect summer running weather in the south... low 80's and drizzling with a breeze

AM - 5 jogging

AM2 - 10. 13 second difference from yesterday's run, impressive both in my consistency and that that it was 13 ticks faster; my legs were basically dead fish.

PM - 15. dead fish!!

AM - 5. been running on fumes since waking up yesterday, and even ran out of that by the last few minutes of last night's 15. after that hoped i could get enough strength back to get my AM 5 and 10 in so i could hit 120 miles in 3.5 days, but i could tell stretching after this shakeout my body had hit it's limit, so only AM run today. i'm almost certain if i hadn't done that hard fartlek on tuesday i could've gotten my 4th straight 30-mile day, but hey, at least i hit the 500-mile month. no way in hell i'm running 15 tonight, but maybe i'll luck out and recover enough to get 10 so i can hit a 150 mile week; 99% chance it'll either be a shakeout or nothing at all though. still, amazing past 3 days of training! gonna go take my supplements and get a 25oz budweiser from the gas station at 5am to celebrate the feat(also because i'm afraid i might try and get that 10 anyway if i don't incapacitate myself)

AM - 5. felt like someone had taken to my legs with a meat tenderizer, but felt better by the end once i got some blood circulation in the legs. 

PM - 5. shook most of the mileage out of the legs. glad they feel good because in retrospect going straight from a great fartlek on tuesday morning to 75 miles in 48 hours with no recovery was pretty dumb. not that i don't think it's doable; just need a week or two of straight mileage first. def think i have a decent shot of going 5-straight with the 30's next week.

sotd: waves of fear - lou reed. the only exposure i'd had to him prior was the velvet underground and nico, hard as i try i just cannot enjoy that album for the life of me. but, i respect him as an artist, so i was happy to find something of his i liked
