Did a Justin Park-Inspired, Rob Murphy-Approved minutes workout. Slow to start but a decent push at the end.

3 x 10 minutes @ 7.5, 8, 8.5

10 minutes @ 9.0

15 minutes minutes @ 9.5

5 minutes @ 8

I ran many miles between 9-10 minute pace from May to October. I'm running a little more moderately as I feel like it as I bump my mileage back up over the next three weeks. I'll probably loaf on the trails tomorrow. As I called it last year when I was down about the job market, "playing in the woods."

I'm feeling better now that I'm back to running. The full week off after a marathon helps my body but it kills me mentally. It's like going 100MPH and jacking on the brakes. Had a hard time getting out of bed this week.

PM: Treadmill - 4.5 miles. I broke the treadmill.

There's an issue with the electronics that complex fixes and then it craps the bed again. Somone's kid was in there running around driving me insane. I was going to hop on the bike but the guy who stands in there not exercising was using it for an armrest. I left pretty ticked, mostly at myself for my inability to get up early and out the door.

I skipped out on the Rocky 50k today. Too close to a marathon even if the plan was to run roughly at 8:00 minute pace. I'll try to get 31 miles in on January 24.
