AM - 10 miles, 6:18 pace. felt cruddy the last 72 hours so it felt good to just cruise for an hour.

papa eugene got the rona bug, he just found out this morning. talked on the phone with him for the first time in months yesterday, mostly about the election and incoming economic collapse from the pandemic. not the most fun conversation, but i'm glad i had it in retrospect. he's pretty healthy for a guy in his 50's, and doesn't have many underlying health conditions, so hopefully it's a mild case. if he had any control over how he caught it i'm sure it will be, the guy was stocking his ranch like it was the apocalypse back in january.

was planning on coming to see him for the first time in about 2 years for christmas. i hope i still can.

PM - 6 miles, 6:19 pace. winding up the pace the last half mile. windy!

AM - 400m hills on a gravel trail. 10 miles total, averaged about 80 on the hills. had a lot of "pretty" runs lately so i've been overdue for an ugly workout which i got this morning. most workouts that are more focused on fatigue resistance over running fast usually are. nothing to do but move on to weights in a few hours and get the mileage in until thursday and hopefully get a prettier workout in

PM - weights session, closer to two hours than one. i think i was subconsciously compensating for this morning. it was a good one and much better than my post-workout lifts usually are so now the slate is clean

AM - 6 miles, 6:24 pace. was tired from weights and it was very windy, honestly figured it'd be like 7-flat.

PM - 6 miles after work, 6:17 pace. went faster than i should have but got hit with a wave of existential dread a couple hours before and was trying to exercise that out of me, no pun intended

AM - 6 miles very easy, no watch

PM - a few minutes at about 6:15 pace, not enough to warrant counting it towards my mileage. felt good, but i wore a pair of 1" shorts i haven't donned in years(not a fan of short shorts anymore. much more of a half-tights guy in my old age), and let's just say either the lining shrunk or i have something to feel good about. anyway in the interest of not catching a public indecency charge i stopped pretty quickly. got a workout tomorrow morning i really wanna go well so i wouldn't mind a bit more rest than i deserve

AM - jogged to rodeo, ran 10 miles at 6:08 pace, jogged to my car, drove to the track and ran 2 x 300m strides in 46 and 50 with 300m jogging in between. 12 total

realized i got my work days mixed up and i work later today, but i wasn't tryna get another easy day so did something a little faster, but not too hard. wanted to hit 48's on the 300's but the first one was too fast and with the 10 miles fresh in my legs i just tightened up on the second one.

PM - 3 easy, 6:25 pace. these 6:20-6:30 pace runs haven't been hard but this is the first one that's been genuinely easy where it felt like recovery pace. got caught up in a long facetime with my family and wanted to try to do the workout i wanted to do today in the morning tomorrow so shortened the run, my knees been a little tight since yesterday during work so i'll play it by ear. it felt better this morning, and basically fine tonight, so hopefully

AM - warmed up 3 miles on the track, did my drills and strides then one of those black SUVs cops usually drive pulled up and parked by the gate. i'd hopped a fence to get in and figured i was in trouble so i just jogged over to the gate and waited, for about 10 minutes. eventually i figured i'd jog over to the other side out of the line of view and hop over the fence and bail, but as i was i noticed the guy get out and hop the fence himself. turned out he was just a guy walking around the track. i did another stride to get my body ready again but my right ankle felt off. not exactly hurting, and it felt fine when i jogged back to my car, but when i went fast it felt a bit uncomfortable. whatever. it's raining all sunday so this gives me a chance to do my long run in better weather tomorrow

PM - stretching + hips. knee is feeling off again; i think i'm gonna need to see a chiropractor in the morning to nip it in the bud. that probably means i'm doing the long run on the treadmill on sunday, which sounds gross

realized last night the chiropractor i went to last spring isn't open on weekends, so guess i won't be running the next 2 or 3 days :( it's annoying but you roll with the punches, and i'll bike tonight and tomorrow night as well as get a lift in tomorrow morning so i shouldn't lose much fitness. i'll probably do core and hips in a minute too
