Today was supposed to be a builder day but I just never felt right. My HR was insanely high.

​Did first four of 8 and had to stop as my HR was in the 190s running 6:20 pace. 5:50, 5:47, 5:54, 6:14 and the I stopped and just ran it in. Average for the full 12 was 6:54. Not sleeping enough Sunday night (like an hour or so) really hurt me for today.

Easy run with Ken, Denver, and Riley from the Smith's by the school around the neighborhood. Easy recovery pace of 7:55 average. Still pretty blah feeling push ups and core after work.
