Very humid, but not too hot and overcast, which made for decent weather actually. I got a few sprinkles here and there. Nice run.

PM: 9 miles, averaged 11:38. HR 139.

Started out okay, but couldn't keep my HR down after a while, so I walked about 3/4 of a mile home. Low on fluids I think.

PM2: 3.25-mile w/ Megan. HR 83.

Night: 4 miles, averaged 11:40. HR 127.

PM: 5.2 miles, averaged 12:12. HR 137.

HR was quite elevated for the very slow pace. A little anxious these last few days. Medication is helping, but it is still there a bit. Thinking I might need a little socialization, so I am going to do Thursday Night Dirt tomorrow. It rained last week.

Night: 6.4 miles, averaged 11:52. HR 130.

Nice run around the lake in the dark. Cooler, but quite humid.

Lunch/PM: 3.7 miles, averaged 12:07. HR 137.

Resting HR very elevated. Almost 60, but usually in the 40s. Quite high for the very slow pace. Might just need to step back a bit tomorrow and for a few days. I feel like my medication hasn't been working as well the last few days, but I think I just need to make some life adjustments.

PM: 50.3-mile ride. HR 163.

Rode to the meet up point. Felt a bit rough and got dropped pretty hard. Kept up a strong effort. We stopped for beers and then did some racing down Sheldon. Good times.
