| AM: Long Run at Brown County State PArk with the group. Jogged over to Tim's for a ride - 2.5 miles, rode to Park. Ran for about an hour and stopped for water break, ran for another 30 minutes and then hit the last 3 miles hard to finish up. The effort was LT by the end of the second mile, and I suffered through the last mile to finish up. Last 3mi. AT/LT were 6:25, 6:05, 6:32. A valuable lesson again learned from this - 6:05 is about HMP (on a flat course), but throwing hills in at that pace is dipping into the LT range for me. If I did this one again, I'd try to run about 6:20's and go for 4-5miles. Drove back home and ran home from Tim's and then threw in some strides and drills: 10x15-20sec pickups & some drills.
22.2mi. total - just under 3 hours

PM: easy hour - 6.7miles around the neighborhood. Still can't get this heart rate monitor to work.

| Later PM run workout around the fairgrounds. It really cooled off after the storm blew through. Finally, a break from the humidity. Did some strides and jogged overto fairgrounds to WU, then,
4x2mi. HMP and 1mi. 10k with 0.25 mi. rec. jogs: 6:09,6:09 // 6:04, 6:09 // 6:06, 6:10 // 5:59, 6:10, and then 5:52 for the mile. Felt fine aerobically, but, my legs are pretty beat up. Started getting some wierd feeling in my right knee - its getting a kind of numbness feeling near the end of some of these workouts... :( who knows if that even means anything.

| AM before work - tough this morning - 3mi at like 10 minute pace.
PM: hurting - left leg problem areas flaring up more than usual. Jogged around a bit and mostly focused on drill type movements and loosening up

| AM before work: easy 10k w/ 8xstrides (30-50 sec.) - about 50min.
PM: about 7pm and it has cooled off a bit, with the humidity getting alittle better as well. easy 7mi. around the neighborhood. The same old neighborhood loop is diffcult to run over and over. Fortunately, alot of new streets and houses are going in all the time it seems, so there are some new little loops to run around. 7mi. - 54:46. Once again, the day off yesterday was a wise decision.

| AM: 21 mi. Long Run. WU 4mi. jogging over to people trail and right into 10mi. AT. Struggled through this and was aereobically taxed in the last 2 miles - 1:07:21 (6:44 avg.). Somewhat disheartening after higher mileage and some good training weeks prior to this. Chalk it up as some fatigue from 2 of the hihghest mileage weeks I have ever done prior to this week. Full recovery jog after this and then 6x40 sec. hills at VO2 effort. these hurt... a lot. jogged on home afterward in the rain - that was nice.
21.08 mi. total - 2:36:50
