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.
