Day off. 49 days on. It was time.

We drove to Toledo yesterday for Megan’s brother’s engagement party. We had a great time.

Windy. Bad heartburn.

A student sent me a platter of assorted pasteries. His wife is a pastery artist and she thought that they should do something for hisprofessors, who understood when he missed a few classes for knee surgey (incidentally to fix a knee issue from a detonated IED in one of his three tours in Iraq as a bomb specialist). He was telling a few younger students who asked and I don't think they were quite prepared for his answer.

PM: 4.2 miles, averaged 10:14. HR 126.

10 x 45" Strides @ ~5k Effort (Race Sharpener)

About 32 degrees when I got up. Hat and gloves again. A bit too early for this, but it wasn't bad. Felt generally okayish. Ended up running fairly fast even though I felt slow (5:22-5:05 pace).

PM: 5.1 miles, averaged 9:11. HR 134.

Little windy, upper 40s. Feels like November. Seems like we skipped the amazing fall days and went straight to late fall. Or maybe my memory isn't great and I am just grumpy.

Ate a considerable amount of sweets from leftovers Megan' Uncle gaves us, but I haven't been drinking the last several days, so I guess that's one positive.

PM: Off. Took a 90' nap and wasn't feeling the weather or the dark.

Late: AIS, PT routine, and situps

Chilly. Jumped a few deer. When I was almost home I heard a "pop" and some guy was discharging his cross bow in his front yard pretty close to the road. #welcometomichigan

PM: 4.8 miles, averaged 8:21. HR 139. Did some strides.

6 x 20” at a decent clip. Jog back.

Mostly watched Fear Fest on AMC. Have felt pretty blah. I think it’s just about the race, which my body seems to think is a full rather than a fitness building season ender. I’m not sure what the rest of the year looks like but I’m planning to switch over to cyclocross, which really just means I’ll probably be running mostly and doing 1-2 skill sessions with a commute day and one real ride a week as I have been doing.

Felt okay. Legs started to turn over after 20’ or so. Picked it up slightly the last 5’ and did one short stride around race effort. Going to be cold and early for the race tomorrow.

Late: AIS and light PT
