AM: 90' on the trainer. 221W. HR 135. 

4 x 10' Sweet Spot

272 (150), 274 (151), 272 (150), 280 (152). My HR never got above 159, which was good. With my FTP drop these were very manageable, but I got some work in.

Evening: 7 miles on the treadmill, averaged 9:52. HR 139.

5' progressions from 5.0-7.2 MPH. Legs are pretty smashed from lifting on Sunday on top of the races and moving into the week's workouts and running. Oof. Had a decent day with the boys and then just lost it right before Megan got home as the boys were trying to get me worked up. I held off for a while, then it got to me. Trying. Struggling. I wasn't sure I would be able to focus and run, but I was able to thankfully.
