Tried to progress but I had almost zero food today and running at 9:00PM doesn't work well off a PB&J and some vending machine snacks. #livingthedream

PM: 4.5 miles on the treadmill. Blown workout.

Warm with air quality warning. I waited around all day and spent a long time on the couch. Should have just jogged out my milez instead of trying a workout. Rough day.

I alternated 7.0/9.0. It felt harder than it should have, but I like it as a concept for an actual and longer workout.

I'm going to be enlisting the coaching services of John Starrett (formerly Bam of the blog). I think I need some direction since I've had so much time of inconsistency. He's given some excellent direction to Ben and Riley, who have both worked hard and seen the payoffs.

Like a rainforest. Thankfully it was only 80 with cloud cover.
