Slog in the soup. Too soon after the race to do 10+ I think.

Distance estimated on the dreadmill, which reset itself somewhere around the 3.5 mile mark (hate when that happens). I was working more on knee lift after watching Lalita's video of my duck run Saturday. We'll see if it starts to take hold.

Progression run on the mill, running through interruptions for once. Cranked it up to 7.6+ mph for the last two miles, then walkdown 0.25 while I returned the last three calls :) Walked outside to take my wet gear out to the car and hit a wall of humidity, as if I needed confirmation of the decision to run on the mill. Bleah.

Took yesterday off with a sore spot on my left foot, so made up for it with an 11-mile progression/tempo on the mill. Cranked it up to MP+ then 10KP+ for the last 26 minutes, I think, before a mile cooldown (some of that at 9:00). Good run. Needed it.
