| Today is stomach bug recovery day (yesterday really sucked). Rehydrate, eat, lay around and hopefully run tomorrow.

| AM: 69F, 83%. 6 @ 7:49 AP. Felt amazing outside. My innards are still doing a few cartwheels but I'd say I'm 95% or so. Hoping for a workout on Wednesday or Thursday.
PM: 4 TM, w/ vicious strides. Legs and stomach were a little shaky afterward...in hindsight it might've been a little too soon for VS day.

| AM: 74F, 74%. 9 @ 7:55 AP. Still feel a little off but I need to go ahead with a HMP workout tomorrow, since I have to do a LR w/AT on Saturday...should be fine; temps will be relatively nice tomorrow.
PM: 4 slow TM miles. Hit 1000 miles on the fastwitch; I'm thinking that'll be the next training shoe I buy - they have held up better than the kinvaras...I bet I get another 500+ out of them.

| AM: 65F, 68%. 11 mi. Today was goal HMP day. I wanted to do a lot more with today, given the cool weather, but my legs have been really heavy since my illness this weekend; I shouldn't have tried to jump right back into my schedule, probably. Anyway, I wasn't holding out much hope, especially after the warmup, but rolled into some mile repeats at goal pace on the track. I ended up doing 5 x 1600, 1 lap recovery. Through the miracle of mathematics, I found out that an 80-minute HM works out to about 91 sec/lap, so I aimed at 6:04 for these. Averaged 6:02 (6:06, 6:03, 6:02, 6:00, 5:59).
I was headed for a much faster 5th rep, but kind of bonked the last lap and ran it in 94. It was then that I decided a 6th rep would do more harm than good, so pulled the plug after 5. Aerobically, these felt great. My legs were just heavy and dead from the very first rep. I think it's a pretty good sign that I was able to still churn out 90-91 sec laps. I believe I'm close to having one of those breakthrough workouts when everything comes together. Right now I probably just need to let the ol' body rest up a bit more than I'd planned this week.
PM: 30 min slow on the TM. Legs liked the plodding...more of that to come the next couple days.

| 69F, 95%. 17 @ 7:16 AP. LR today - I did 17 w/ 8 miles aerobic tempo. First, a 9-mile warmup @ ~7:45/mile, then right into 8 tempo miles @ 6:43 AP (6:47, 6:41, 6:47, 6:44, 6:43, 6:42, 6:44, 6:35). Another effort-based run with the high dewpoint but pretty good, all things considered. I'll be able to attack GMP when it cools off. God, I sound like a broken record.
Our chocolate milk was expired, but I'd picked up a "mega protein" bar (30g of protein!) that was supposed to be PB&J flavored. It tasted like solidified barf.
