Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
8.00	6.00	0.00	0.00	14.00

PM: 14 miles moderate pace. HR 159.

Progression through 10 miles, then 4 miles easy. Starting at mile 4 until mile 10 I cut the pace down from 7:23-6:27. Weather was in the mid to lower 80s but it was dry and I ran mostly under tree cover (so I ran by heart rate), which helped. I think I will continue to do that until the weather gets cooler.

Good run. I sweat out many of my Fourth of July Weekend sins.

Walked with Remy for 40 minutes or so after lunch before going out for my run.

+ Stretching and core (late)

When someone asks you if you want dessert A or dessert B, the correct answer is always,"Yes." There were three desserts. I did 2 of the 3 because cherry pie isn't my favorite but I did manage to take some extra servings of dessert (major weakness!).

I feel better. Still kind of slumpy the last 6 months but it hasn't been terrible; mileage is way ahead of 2013 and 2014 and I've run a lot faster than I ever have in my track workouts. I've worked on a few factors that might be contributing to the problem and working from there.
