Have felt very off for a couple of days. Dragged myself to the fitness center, 2x easy lift and 3 miles slow on the mill. Didn't feel bad during but kind of shaky after so glad I didn't push things.

WHP on a cool, breezy day. Didn't have ambition but ran pretty hard in the end, averaging 7:51 pace.

Good tri-lakes run. Started pretty easy but finished sub-8s, finished in just over 1:30 (8:12 pace). Starting to get it back a little.

Three mill miles before Realfit. Glad I ran, as we only did yoga after :-/ Dug out the old Neo33s for the workout. Never liked them much before but felt good, smooth today.

Aunt Betty, cold and blustery but sunny. Felt heavy and slow, especially up 7 Bridges, but finished sub 8s for the last 4, so slow is relative I guess.

Easy Schooner Head. Felt heavy and slow still, but a litle better than Friday and Saturday. Beautiful 55 degree sun!

Warmup for Realfit team challenge. Also 2.2k rowing, 6.5k on the spin bike, and two sets of bench presses, squats and plank shoulder taps. Good workout.

Actually did a little uptempo mill work today. 12 minute warmup, 8 x hard effort 1:00 with 1:00 recovery, 12 minute warmdown. Gradually sped up, did last 3 at 6:35 pace. Felt really hard at first--will need to adapt again--but felt smoother/stronger as I went along, so that's encouraging.

Ran 7 Bridges. Started slow and my leg seized so the middle miles were slow as well, but felt better and the leg loosened towards the end, so I ran to the signpost out toward WHP for double digits. Ended up averaging 8:10s or so for the last 5-6 miles after 2 9:00+ miles going up MacFarland and 7 Bridges, so 8:23 average and feeling good about the run.

Around bike path, UVM. Started slow, ended up at a nice low 8:00s pace and averaged 8:09 overall. Good way to shake off the long drive.

Ran up to Turkey Trot w/M in wet snow, ran TT in a typical way, in the slow crowd for 1st mile, semi-fartlek getting around people in the 2nd mile, trying to hold steady up the hill in the 3rd mile. All of it was on wet snow, so a slow day even without the crowds. Then jogged back down to the hotel. Ran 25:00 for the 5k.

Rowed 5k, 23:00. Hamstring a little tweaked from yesterday (a little slip in the snow?) and it's a cold, crappy rain outside, so a good day to hit the gym.

With Jim around Essex, slow (8:30s) but steady, felt pretty good. Nice to get solid runs during holiday travel.
