| AM: 46F. 22 @ 7:27 AP. Today was my fast-finish LR, planned on 22 with the last 6 tempo. Ran the first 15 with my buddy from the 5k a couple weeks ago, then we separated and I kept going.
The last 6 were 6:30, 6:28, 6:20, 6:25, 6:22, then in the last mile I caught up to a different co-worker's 10-year-old son who was running a race - I'd forgotten the Battle of Leon Creek was today, but was having fun being in their race for free. Anyway, I hung with the kid until I got to my car, and it made for a nice cooldown. .6 miles is more than the 0.0 mile cooldown I had planned. That kid is going to be a great runner - sub-8 pace in a 20k?! He's about half the size of everyone else!
Felt really good on the tempo portion, things are coming together very well right now.
PM: 43F, N 23-34 mph. 2.5 @ 8:52 AP. Took the dog out to the dead end and back as the next cold front was blowing in. The wind was Oklahoma-ish. The run/plod felt good on the legs, regenerative even.

| AM: 31F. 6 @ 8:30 AP. Comfort plodding for a couple days, then will do a dead-leg CV workout on Wednesday; that's becoming a marathon training staple for me.

| AM: 31F. 7 @ 8:11 AP. Cold weather gives me a small bladder, can't even get through a few recovery miles. Am I alone here?

| 40F, 10 miles total. Dead-legged CV workout today. I was pretty sure my legs would still be pretty impaired from this weekend, and I was right. That's why I put this workout where I did; it's almost always a safe one - 7 x 800m @ 10k pace, 200m active rec. The first couple felt awful, but the legs did their job - averaged 2:59/rep on the 800s with ~65 sec recoveries. Splits were 2:59, 3:00, 2:59, 3:00, 2:58, 2:58, 2:58. They actually got easier and easier. Seems like a sign that I'm in decent marathon shape - still getting the job done when the legs are their weariest.
2 more workouts and I'll get 3 easy days before each of them. I'll start my rest for the next one by not running this afternoon!
PM: 3 @ 8:43 AP with the dog in the neighborhood.

| AM: 63F, 100%, fog. 6.5 @ 8:21 AP. Soggy sloggy.
PM: 4.5 TM miles with 6 x 1 minute @ 5k pace. I've been slacking on strides since my legs seem to always be tired and cranky. Tomorrow will basically be a day off, maybe 3-4 miles in the neighborhood, tops. Then workout Sunday.
