Lunch: 11 miles w/ 3 x 8 minute Farlek/3 min easy
Warmed up 28 minutes with a few pick ups and one stride. Managed to run 5:53/5:46/5:57 over rolling dirt with a good deal of tree cover (Strava adjusted paces were 5:47/5:43/5:44, which I don't put a ton of stock in by they look much better!). Felt like I maybe could have pushed just a touch more but I was pretty much in the right zone I think. I did not want to blow the workout. It's not hard but you get some solid minutes around to below LT.
Cooled down 30 minutes.
The low changed very quickly from 61 to about 67 last night and I didn't get up early so I thought a good farlek session under tree cover would be good. They pulled me out of my slump the week before last and I had a pretty good session today. Temps were upper 70s, with dropping humidty and charitable dew point of low 60. It's going to start getting hot and nasty so I will just do what I can with easy running, a two more workouts, and one race in the next two weeks.
PM: 4.25 miles. HR 129.
