AM - went to the gym for my usual pre-morning run warmup and dynamics, but the blister from yesterday was giving me fits and i knew it was going to get a lot worse if i ran on it, especially since i'm gonna be on my feet the rest of the day at work. i have some very choice words about how pissed i am about it but i'll save them, and just hope i can get rid of it in the next 24 hours so i can run a treadmill tempo early monday morning before the hurricane hits

PM - 4 on hilton. forgot the pace

AM - 4 on hilton, 6:40 pace

PM - 6 on hilton after work, 6:17 pace

lots of flooding from the hurricane so both these runs were on my favorite running surface, also known as pavement. felt nice out on the night run. supposedly the last day of the year the temperatures get into the 90's, also known as my favorite day of the year. or is that the last day with a high in the 80's

AM - 3 mile w/u, 3 miles in 16:33(5:41, 5:31, 5:21). short c/d for 8

main reason i hit the track(very early) was because i knew all my courses were still flooded, and didn't want to do a treadmill run. with how mediocre training has been this week i just wanted to get a few miles at 6-flat pace in to refresh the legs, wasn't intending to put any real effort into it. ran the first lap in 85 and knew i didn't have the pride to slow down, so changed the plan to a short light tempo run. basically ran every lap faster than the last, it was nice. would have done a long cooldown but my ankles were bugging from all the turns

PM - 4 on hilton, 6:13 pace. grass wasn't flooded but still malleable so didn't get any real ankle support. ended it short because they were starting to bug again

AM - 2 on sokol, 6:28 pace, i think. ankles still felt iffy so cut it short and pretended it was being smart and not weak-willed

PM - 5 on mural, 6:11 pace. grass was a bit too soft so just like the last PM run, no ankle support. they weren't a fan, but it'd have been worse if i did a full AM run so maybe i can feel less guilty about it. work all weekend so no long run for the week, hopefully i can get 10-12 at a solid effort tomorrow morning before clocking in though.

AM - 11 on mural, 6:07 pace. very wet out there. shame i couldn't have gone longer, last two miles were 5:54 and 5:46 without really putting in any more effort than the nine miles prior. still, a solid run. hopefully by the end of the month with cooler temperatures giving me a little more room for improvement i can get back to dropping a few 5:5x pace morning runs a week.
