It's all relative

AM: 15 miles, 3.3 of them fast.  6:00 intervals with 3:00 recoveries with Jeremie & Darek.  Happy 4th of July!

PM: 14 mile bike ride.

Pretty sad.  I'm just passing the 500 mile mark here in July.  I suppose I should run more, but I am just enjoying the process.  I did sign up for a race however!  Moon over Croom a night-time all trail.  It's a (usually) rainy/muddy race in Withalacoochee forest in about a month plus.  21-miler.  I haven't run over 15 miles consecutively in about eight months, so it'll be... interesting.  The field is small- 250 total, so I might be able to just use it as a marathon prep workout.  Or, if someone wants to push the envelope, I'm usually pretty game.  Either way, excited.

PM: 11 miles @ 7:56/mile pace on the treadmill and then lifted a little.

AM: 6x4:00 repeats with 90 second honest recoveries, followed by 3x0:15 "sprints."  5:38/mile average for the long intervals.  Felt average.

PM: 15 mile bike ride.  Was epic.

AM: 13.5 miles.  Did a hm in 1:36 or so with 1000ft elevation on the treadmill.   Felt pretty easy, although the treadmill is tough mentally.  The hills helped break it up.  Although I wish there was the benefit of downhills on the treadmill!

Also did some lifting.

PM: Workout with Darek, Jeremy, & John at 4pm.  Was a sauna, but I was pumped to work hard for some reason.  I really like workouts sometimes- it's just fun to challenge myself.  Workout was 2 x 5k with 1 mile in between.  First 5k was easy and we nailed it by 10-40 seconds depending on whose watch you trust, but the second sent my heartrate a bit too high.  It was not hard, and my form wasn't breaking down, but the humidity just makes it impossible to sweat and cool down so my heart goes insane.  A year ago, myocarditis would have had me in a bad state after this workout, so it feels good to feel fine afterwards.  A tough day for running.  Tomorrow is supposed to be my first double- we'll see if I actually am successful as I'd like to do some biking as well.

The watch thing was annoying.  It keeps reading slow, but I'm in no mood to buy a new watch.  It shouldn't be an issue, so maybe it's just in need of an update.  

AM: 6.6 miles @7:47/mile pace and lifted.  Then 12 mileson the bike.

PM: 10 miles, @9:29/mile pace.  Humidity was not the easiest, so I launched myself in the pool afterwards to bring the body temperature down.

AM: 11.50 miles of suffering.  9:00/mile pace.  It was 7:40ish pace through eight, but then I just lost interest and got over-heated.  Just wanted to scrape to ninety miles.  Definitely seems like it will be a mistake with a long run tomorrow, as I won't recover fast enough.
