| Day off.
We drove to Ohio yesterday to see some of Megan's friends and saw her family today. I could have got a run in, but it wasn't ideal. This ends 34 days on, which is my most consistent streak since we have been in Michigan. Of course I am grumpy and even more anxious than typical Sunday evenings, but even though I haven't been going full speed ahead and mileage is relatively low it's a good time to rest.

| Evening: 8 miles, averaged 8:06
Cold, rainy, windy, dark. Saw a few deer and a muskrat.
Tired. Took a nap after getting home from campus and I fell asleep after dinner in the chair. Did not sleep well Saturday night and it wrecked me. I've always been a person who needs solid sleep. Headed to bed early.

13 x 90" On/Off
30' up/20' down
First two at half marathon effort (maybe a touch fast), three and four at 10k effort (again a touch faster), and the final nine at 5k effort. The first 5k rep was a bit hot as I realized on the recovery. Backed off a bit and then worked my way back down. Some of the reps were decently fast (5:45-5:25). If I had to run a 5k right now, breaking 18 would likely prove difficult. The effort felt right though and it is hard to judge effort for only 90' Last three reps were getting tough, but I focused and ran the last three fairly quick.
Cold day out. Gloves and a hat even though it was 38 degrees. The damp air had it feeling like Philadelpha.

Started to feel fitter and stronger. My legs are getting itchy to run fast and increase mileage.
Light rain but warmer. Lots of deer. A small buck that I kind of wanted to wrestle and have for lunch. A doe and two young 'nes.

25' easy, 20' moderate to uptempo progression, 20' steady easy-ish
Took off too fast for the 20' (even though I felt fine) as I felt like I was doing a workout rather than just a slightly better quality maintenance run. The 20' portion was supposed to be easy to moderate. I think I can find a better rhythm doing the whole first 45' or so progressively and work off miles, which given the 1-mile loop always helps me better establish a rhythm.
Late: AIS hamstring, Mrtyl routine, and push-ups

It started to rain after I got up from a nap, which seems to happen all the time lately. Started running and saw some lightning flashes. Then I saw some bolts and it was far too close. Ran home. Exactly a mile. Went to the complex gym, which is serviceable if no one is around. I did another hour there.
