Lunch: 10.2 miles on the treadmill, averaged 9:04. HR 146.

Progression through 65' starting very slow (5.0 MPH) as my legs were beat up, but I didn't feel like doing a straight recovery run as I had a day off yesterday, but figured it I didn't feel great I wouldn't press given how sick I felt yesterday. Thankfully woke up feeling normal and quite rested. Kept it mostly around 7.0-7.5 for the later minutes and then did 4 strides. Need to be more diligent about strides given that my total running volume is low. 

Took a nap after, which felt good. Up early the next three days for bike workouts.
