AM: 10 miles, averaged ~9:00. HR 133. 

8x5'

Got up early before our year-end spring conference. It has been a while since I last exercised at 6:00AM. My HR was a bit suppressed and lactate was reading high for the first few reps, but the effort was right, so I just kept the pace the same throughout and lactate settled into 2.3-2.5 or so for the back half of the reps. 

Boys weren't feeling well and then again this morning, so I am staying home with them. 

PM: 4 miles, averaged 10:05. HR 122.
