Signed up for Barry Roubaix today as well as the Michigan Gravel Race Series points system. Running might be my cross training for a little while. But this plan changes at least twice a day.

Off.

Didn't run at lunch as I am swamped with work. Should have run when I got home or after dinner, but didn't.

Wore my Vibrams for the first time in 7 or 8 years to amuse myself. Concentrating on running nothing higher than 140 BPM for the next 4 months. This is what it took today. I put the alarm on my watch, which I haven't used in a long long time as its uses are pretty limited.

PM: 2.1 miles treadmill.

Couldn't keep HR down even jalking at 14' pace, so I pulled it. I was going to incline walk, but got crashed mentally and could only think about being in bed, so that is what I did. Mentally took a sharp down turn.

Off.

Not much better than the previous day mentally or physically, but I got back into the doctor's and got on steroids and an inhaler. Thankful for them fitting me in and good health insurance and a flexible schedule.

Lunch: 4.3 miles, averaged 11:33. HR 134.

Last day of regular classes. Ran when I got home at lunch. Physically better and mentally much better. I assume the mental drop was the 100 MPH to 0 MPH exercise crash (went from 105 miles and 15-17 hours of exercise to nothing) coupled with end of semester stress.

Run was good but very slow, which I don't really care about. Nothing but slow sub-140 HR running for a number of weeks. I will return to workouts some day when my weight drops back down and I am able to run sub-140 HR for 8:00-8:15 pace.
