30' @ Marathon Effort

30' up/30' down. Started around 8 MPH and picked it up just slightly. A meager, but hopeful start.

We took Oliver to the vert since he hasn't been eating (and he was just at the vet last Friday). He has some sort of kidney abnormality that we are waiting on bloodwork for. Megan and I are a bit panicked if somewhat hopeful.

Night: 4 miles treadmill, averaged 11:15.

Noon: 6.2 miles, averaged 7:50. HR ~155-157.

Steady easy to moderate to uptempo short run. HR monitor dropped for a little while.

PM: 34.5-mile ride. HR 168.

Hard effort. Got dropped but gave it some welly solo and caught back up and got dropped again. 19.7 MPH and 20.2 MPH for the loop. My upper hamstrings/glutes are shredded. I have some frozen chicken breasts on them.

11.100.002.200.0013.30

Noon: 9 miles w/ short tempo + hill blasts

30' warmup, 15' tempo, 5' jog, 8 x 8" Hill blasts, 3-mile cool down

This was more challenging version of my typical weekly hill blast session. Tempo was not fast (about 6:47 pace) but the effort was right on. Took a second or two to collect myself. jogged 5' minutes, did drills and strides, the blasts, then cooled down.

Warm to start but breezy and the air really dried out over the course of the workout. Had some good pop in my legs for the blast. Still very saddle sore from Thursday's hard bike effort.

PM: 4.3 miles very slow. HR 124.

Short weight session: chest press 3 x 20 @ 40#, pull downs 3 x 20 @ 60#, rows 3 x 20 @ 40#; shoulder press 3 x 20 @ 30#
