| I seem to always follow a crappy run with a good one. Today was another example. Went to MAFC for a fish to shake off yesterday's 20. But as I got going, I felt pretty good, I went a little faster, and I felt a little better. So I ended up doing 110 laps, with the last two miles or so at basically MP or less. Wound up with a sub-9 average in spite of a cautious start. It also put me at 83 miles for the week, my second highest ever unless I'm forgetting something. |

| Legs felt every one of those 83 miles last week this evening. In spite of that, got in an easy fish on the track at MAFC. Pace was right at 9:00, which is just what I felt comfortable running tonight. Tomorrow, I'll try some 3K intervals at HMP on the mill and see how those work. Reserving the right to go to Plan B, of course. |

| Tempo intervals on the mills: 3 X 3K at 8.1 mph, with 440 jog intervals and 1.5 warm/cool. Went pretty well, legs felt comfortable and didn't have to strain to maintain pace. I feel like I need a rest day pretty soon, but probably will wait until Thursday just to get one more run in August, being the compulsive that I am. But I have to get up early to get to work by 7 for a meeting, so maybe I won't feel like running by 7 p.m. |

Schedule said 9 with 3 at moderate progression. Wasn't sure I'd do any at mid-afternoon; my back was a bit sore. That eased off, and I decided to go ahead and run. But then the legs were really dragging. In spite of that, started off at about 9:00 pace and progressed, and the last two miles were at MP. But I started getting stomach cramps in the last mile, and given that I was not anxious to undergo a brown bear attack, I decided to shut it down after 8. Which got me to 270 for the month. Not bad for an old guy.
Probably a fish tomorrow, then take off Friday before AM runs on Saturday and Sunday to wrap up the first week of taper. |

| Very easy fish at the gym. Plan was to do it all on the mill, but all the mills were taken. So I did 18 laps before a mill opened up. I was glad it did, because it was a major slog on the track. Started out as a slog on the mill too, but it loosened up fairly quickly. So I started the month with a good, not great run after getting slammed at work. |
