AM: 3 on arctic circle mostly easy - 7:35 pace or so, I still feel so out of shape, way sore and sick, so it wasn't the most triumphant morning ac run I've done by any means. knee blah. (DST 190.5)

PM: Grass loop warmup and such, (49, 98 - tomorrow I'll make my goal of 50/100!!!!) DI loop warmup, then pyramid grass-loop workout: 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1000, 800, 600. Had a kinda odd attitude today, which helped me do well on the first couple, but the later middle ones (namely the 1200 and second 1000) were lacking. And felt pukey sick nasty most of the time. Eew. Times: 2:04, 2:54, 3:17, 4:43, 3:21, 2:49 and 2:04. Knee was better than I'd expected, but worse than I'd hoped. Legs are pretty haggard from starting up from almost nothing with 2 races and speedwork, ow. (Alchemy
