Off.

Needed to get 90' in, but wasn't feeling great. Stomach was off.

Brasstown on Trainer Road. Felt okay this day. Made a good grading push, which was quite helpful.

I slept in quite late as Megan got up with the boys. A beautiful night's rest after an epic nap yesterday has me feeling pretty good. Reconned a tempo loop at Orion Oaks, but the footing and elevation just won't work. I prefer packed dirt loops, and I have workouts supposed to be starting back up this week. I'll keep planning and thinking.

PM: 60' on the trainer. 215W. HR 148.

Steady zone 2. Felt good. Megan ran for a bit while I rode as the boys were at their friends. We have done this perhaps 2-3 times at most to workout together in the basement.

Phoenix on Trainer Road. Felt really strong. Burned off a slight bit of bugeoning anxiety. Felt very good after.

Legs were pretty tired. HR seemed a bit elevated. The final push for grades as they are due at 10 tomorrow morning. Submitted around midnight. I still have my Lawrence Tech grades to do, but those will be easy.

Had a good run. Very easy. HR maybe a little elevated.

Took the boys over to their friends while Megan was at graduation. It was very weird to be home by myself.

AM: 11 miles, averaged ~9:00. HR ~150.

40' up, 20' steady, 40' down

Pace was pretty pedestrian (~7:44) but effort was good (165 BPM). Did this on my new tempo loop that I forgot I had worked out the first spring we were here. Worked fine, but it was slippery even with screw shoes.

Shifted back to workouts this week. I was supposed to do 2 x 10' @ 1 hour race effort earlier in the week, but just didn't get there.
