Buttsweat Towel© season has begun

48F, NNE 20-29 mph.  6:53 AP.  Managed to run as the cold front was arriving again.  No run yesterday, woke up too late and it was impossible to fit in after that.  Today I ran a 12 w/ 6 @ MP, which is only 60-65% of what I had originally intended, but ok for today.  I ran pretty well, given the last 2 weeks.  The first 6 were warmup, but still at a pretty brisk pace, given that they were mostly headwind miles.  Then I turned around and the legs were antsy to run.  Last 6 miles went at 6:23 AP (6:21, 6:33, 6:27, 6:33, 6:27, 5:56).  Clearly not MP in this lifetime, but I had the big tailwind, rested legs, and a shortened workout so why not crank it down a bit more?  Anaerobic sprint the last couple tenths of a mile to snag a sub-6 at the end.

This next week might be more hit or miss with running as Danielle has to go out of town and I'll be single dad for a few days.  I'll just have to be a bit more creative.

38F, 8:30 AP.

Had the kids by myself, so couldn't run in the AM.  This run was on a TM at the gym at work.  Limited to 30 min (was all I could afford between work stuff) but I guess it's slightly better than nothing.  Last mile was pretty fast, I guess.

Same routine tomorrow, but schedule looks better so maybe an hour on the TM, and will push my workout to Thursday this week when I can run outside.

TM at work again.  I probably could've squeezed in a couple more, but the urge to get off the TM was too much to overcome.

29F, NNE 15-22 mph.  7:30 AP.  The plan was to do 8 x 0.5 mile @ 10k, 60 sec recoveries.  I could tell again on the warmup it was going to be bad.  I almost didn't attempt the workout but after the turnaround decided to give it a try and made it through half of it.  6-minute pace was a sprint today; complete opposite from Sunday, when I would almost find myself accidentally running that pace at times.  Weird, bc I should've been ready to go for this one.  Just can't seem to get going on this training cycle.
