| AM: 59F. 17 @ 7:30 AP. Stop the presses, slowjoe ran today! Goal was to make it a harder aerobic effort, and 7:30 definitely did the trick...yikes. Just flat out of shape at this point after basically a 3-week hiatus of sorts. So, I'm going to do the mature, responsible thing, and sign up for the 50-miler that takes place in 3 weeks. I've been thinking about that dang race all summer, so screw it...I'm running!

| AM: 54F, 6 @ 8:33 AP. Legs crushed...I already kinda regret signing up for that 50. Never sign up for races in anger.
PM: 30 min TM jog

| 56F, fog. 6 @ 8:05 AP. Doubles are going to be tough to work in, schedule-wise, from here until the race. Earlier wake-up tomorrow...maybe do that every other day or so.

| 66F, 95%. 10 @ 7:23 AP. 4-mile pickup toward the end - 6:55, 6:38, 6:31, 6:16. Felt ok, I guess. It was humid and I got very little sleep. Oh and I'm outa shape. There...3 excuses is the sweet spot.
A good start, anyway, to my ultra 2-week ultra training plan for ultras. Copyright pending.

| I slept in this morning - was really tired, but got some great sleep. Might hit the TM later, as I've got the kids on my own. Long work week behind me - no human being should ever spend this much time at the office...lately I am pretty much only home for a few hours of sleep (and not sleeping too well). Should be a few more brutal days next week and then it'll let up. I'm actually pretty proud that I still knocked out a run every morning.
Sunday will be my last (semi) long run, and we should have decent temps, down to the mid 50s.
PM: Ate half of a large pizza with all the meats, but then got in 4 @ 7:58. Yes, that should completely counteract it.
