Ran from campus. Nice weather and decent route. 350 feet of gain, but it was well dispersed. Pretty tired from this weekend and not sleeping much or well last night.

Night: 4 miles treadmill, averaged 11:07. HR 128.

A guy was vaping on a recumbent bike.

10-mile Progression Easy to Uptempo

Schedule was 30', 50' @ marathon effort, 30' down. I have been quite tired since racing this weekend, so I wanted something lighter. I am not sure I accomplished that in the end. First mile in 9:13, last mile in 6:43. That 6:43 left me spent. 2 miles down.

PM: 4.3 miles w/ Megan, averaged 10:31. HR 134.

I bonked hard just before 3 miles. Wasn't sure I would make it home. I felt awful. Pretty frustrated overall with my running fitness, even though I know today was fatigue and weather related (quite a bit warmer and more humid than the early fall conditions we have had).

Ran on Oakland University's cross country course. Had a dentist appointment, so I didn't have more time.

PM: 4 miles treadmill, averaged 11:05.

Wasn't feeling it and was frustrated and ticked off. Classes have been excellent, however.

Good ride with a smaller group. Mostly took it easy. It was very lightly raining, but quite manageable. We made a pretty fast climb up the Dequindre Hill. I was about 18.5 MPH on that (it's about a 2.5' climb).

HRM has still been messing up and it is brand new. I did an experiment yesterday by using a different Garmin watch and the errors are abundant. Looking for a replacement that is not wrist or arm mount.

Good day of teaching. I am currently working on a proposal for an honors course for summer 2020.

PM: 4.5 miles treadmill, averaged 8:53. HR 141.

Departed from the schedule to do an endurance test. Took it easy and just did a relaxed long run. One of my slowest 20 milers, maybe ever. I felt very drained after and took in too many liquids too quickly and a bowl of cereal with milk and ended up throwing up. It took a little while to come around but then felt better.

I am 10 weeks out from my 50k and I need to get longer runs in.
