Treadmill progression run, only one day off the schedule after taking Saturday off (sleep and stoopid cold weather). Took a nap before going to the gym and felt pretty groggy at first, but legs felt strong during the MP segment. HR was 142 according to the treadmill HRM, which sounds about right. I'm sure it would have crept up if I'd kept going at MP or faster.

4 p.m. run after a morning in the dentist chair. Legs actually felt pretty good after last night's progression run and I maintained low 9/high 8 pace. One week from now I'll be on the way to Colorado. Wow.

Started out cold, got colder and windier. But it was either do it today or do it indoors tomorrow, so I knocked out my 14 miler. Then I went to get my TB test done. Now I can shower and sleep. I've done 57 miles so far in 2015 with a day off. Keep that average up, I can get close to 3000 miles this year.

Slow 7 with hill sprints. Legs were still too tired from yesterday's 14 for it to be easy.

Good treadmill run after work, since it was in the teens and the gang wasn't starting until 8 anyway. Two mile warmup, bumped up the pace with 25 seconds of fartlek at ~6:40 pace per mile, then marathon pace before and after the last fartlek segment. Total of 11.2, exactly 100 minutes, and felt much better after the finish than before I started. Gotta love those endorphins... Making up for skipping yesterday due to lack of sleep.
