Lunch: 8.3 miles, averaged 10:28. HR 122.

Arms and upper body sore. Legs heavy but overall decent.

PM: off.

Planned to run, but some serious delayed onset muscle soreness had me thinking otherwise. Last big week of mileage this week before 50k.

AM/Lunch: 10.3 miles, averaged 7:33. HR 157.

Steady to moderate. Last mile progressively faster, finishing in 6:37.

We got our first snow, which was barely a dusting but visible even at 11AM. Two days earlier than last year.

PM: 4.1 miles on the treadmill. HR 141.

Did some hills here and there and some strides. Did some light weights after: Tri press 3 x 20 @ 50#; Bicep curls 3 x 20 @ 35#; Shoulder press 3 x 20 @ 30#

Looks like I surpassed 2018 totals. I am about 100 or so miles ahead of 2015 totals currently.

14 Miles of Work in the Middle 

Waited just a bit for the temp to get closer to freezing. Schedule was 20 w/ 14 steady. Warmed up 4 at a decent warmup clip for me. Averaged about 7:45 for first 4, then started at just under 7:30 and patiently worked my way down. Last 4 miles of work section: 6:58, 6:58, 6:55, 6:35. cooled down 2.4

14 miles @ 7:06 (HR 165)

 Some of the miles were a bit steadier than steady, but I felt solid despite my cold.

Tested a handheld water bottle and some Maurten gels. All worked quite well. Legs were pretty loaded from this week's mileage but with no midweek workout I felt pretty good. That's the last significant long run of the buildup. I did okay rebuilding from September to October to now. Not really sure what happened from June to August, but I'm on the right track to getting some serious training going again.

Good meditative recovery plod. I was a bit was in a bad mood last night and today (as well as very hungover) so the run was welcomed.
