PM: 10 miles moderate.

Not good recovery. My HRM is all messed up and I'm off my leash. I'm in that state of thinking where I think I am running too slow on my easy days (7-7:30 is too fast for recovery as I did today obviously) but 9:15-9:45 might be too slow and trying to run under 130 BPM for most of the run is too easy. This is my "I'm still trying to figure out what happened two weeks ago" theory of the day.

Unplanned day off.

A long day when running just isn't going to work unless I get on the treadmill at 9:30. Thankfully Broad Street is no longer a target race. I will move today's planned workout to Wednesday, leaving one regular workout left instead of two. Ready to move on to another period of training anyway.

PM: Treadmill - 4.4 miles in 30 minutes. Blown workout.

That was a dumb idea. Started a 4-5 mile tempo a bit too fast. Felt good but quickly went south. Slowed the pace then hated myself in my head and called it. After a long day 9:45 PM on the treadmill is just not a good time to do a workout. I thought I was going to be ok.

Started a workout and then pulled it. I didn't follow my advice that I adopted from Jake and have benefitted from greatly. In fact, I gave someone the same advice the other day: "Move on to the next workout as planned. Do NOT try to repeat the workout."

Plan was to run 10-15 x 1k starting around 3:35 or a little slower and cutting down. I got 3:36 on the first one and 3:39 on the second. Nope. You knew it was a really dumb idea. You did it anyway. Say what you what in your head, but wait until later to type your entry.

PM: 7.7 miles.

Good run other than a bunch of Swedish Fish trying to escape the whale's stomach.

Lower 70s, dry and pleasant. Next to fall, this is my favorite time of year to run. Warm enough that a pair of split shorts and shoes are the only requirements. Dry enough that 7:15-7:45 feels fast easy.
