| | AM - 11 easy on hilton, 6:47 pace. started early, then once sunrise came and i had a better view of the grass i was running on the pace dropped from just under 7-minute to 6:30's and 6:20's without any real change in effort. good start to what i hope to be a good week of training.
PM - 5 on hilton, 6:32 pace. my left achilles was a bit iffy towards the end of work but i think it's more due to wearing some very worn down pegs to a job where i'm on my feet most of the time. could have worn the magenta ones but that color clashes badly with just about every item of clothing i own. anyway it had just stopped storming hard so if running on a soaked grass course didn't bug the achilles i'm probably okay
embarrassing factoid: i haven't ran 16 miles in a day since may 14th

| | AM - 4-mile w/u, 4-mile tempo in 21:50, c/d for 13
it started raining buckets as soon as i finished the PM run yesterday so i knew the treadmill was my only option(pavement-exclusive running is never on the table). treadmills are usually the quickest way to irritate my achilles on a run but didn't have any issues. tempo went well, honestly might have played it conservative with how good it felt.
PM - 5 on hilton, ~6:48 pace(watch died towards the end). probably would have been a good one if i had some real recovery between this and the morning session(all i had was a nap right after the tempo, then had work and went straight to hilton from there). plan is to not work on mondays and thursdays and do workouts then but today was an exception

| | AM - 11 on sokol. tried seasoning my rice with furikake last night, forgetting that adding seeds into my diet the night before a run doesn't ever go well. managed to power through the first 8 at 6:19 pace, but my stomach was killing me so i jogged the last 3 on rodeo, no watch. good run regardless.
PM - 5 on hilton, 6:10 pace. bug flew into my eye with a mile to go, good god did that hurt

| | AM - 11 on sokol, 6:20 pace. tough conditions out there, very humid and the grass was extremely wet which makes the hills that much harder. good news is by the end of next week the temperatures should start dropping. just thinking of the high being in the 70's without storms causing it, it's got me on the verge of tears
PM - 5 on hilton, 6:19 pace. ran about an hour earlier than usual because it's raining tomorrow morning so if i want to get a workout in i'll have to be up long before the rooster crows. very hot out today so that was fun, what's also fun is despite leaving my shoes out on the porch all day they were still soaked to the soles ~12 hours after the morning run

| | AM - 3-mile w/u, 10 x 200m w/ 200m rec in 60", 3.5 c/d. warmup exceptionally slow(barely under 9:00 pace. not that it matters). averaged 32.7 on the repeats.
conditions were brutal this morning: 80 degrees with full humidity by 4:30 when i started warming up. it's like the summer heat used it's dying breath to take a 12-gauge to my nuts. wanted to do 15 intervals but i'm okay with a little less; my goal for this week was to hit 100 miles and at this point i could half-ass the rest of the week and still clear that easily. feels good to capitalize on potential.
PM - off. too much flooding to drive safely to the gym

| | AM - 5 on the road up from sokol, 7:30 pace. very early(finished before 5am). at this point my disdain for asphalt is enough i could fill a manifesto with it, but every course i usually run was going to be totally flooded and i really didn't feel like hitting the treadmill. all things considered, wasn't that bad. i'm not gonna ever choose this over something like hilton or sokol, but it's an option. didn't trust the legs to handle a full ~80 minutes of hard-surface running so just did a shakeout. more flooding today and tomorrow so might end up finding out if what i said about half-assing the rest of the week and still clearing 100 miles was true
PM - 5 on sokol, 6:04 pace. ran in the early afternoon just before the storms hit. came through about 10 minutes at a lax 5:55 pace but then the heat hit me hard and i surrendered to it. the afternoon heat still might be less of a detriment than the morning dew on sokol that turn my shoes into bricks

PM - 5 on hilton, 7:30-something pace. basically jogging. ate some bad fish yesterday and felt terrible all day so no triple-digit week. i'll manage. it had just rained buckets an hour earlier so i had to run on the pavement, so if i get injured this year i'm using this run as the scapegoat
