Progression run on the mill. Went OK, not too much residual from yesterday's slow 5K.

MP run on the mill. Lack of sleep during last night's shift meant not enough time to do the 15 I'd planned, so I did as much as I could, finishing at 7:20. Then showered and came upstairs. MP miles felt pretty good; able to push to 7.5 then 8 mph at the end. Lotta work to do in the next 47 days but this was a good one.

10K on the mill during a thunderstorm, mostly on the clock. I'd planned to do up to 7 until beeping took care of that plan. I was a little stiff after yesterday's MP run but eventually loosened up a bit. Still sleep deprived yet; I didn't get to sleep until after 11 this morning and the storm woke me up at 4.

Progression run on the mill. Felt pretty good at MP for the last two miles but was breathing harder than I would have liked. Got it done without too much issue though.

Took yesterday off with bad case of hitting the wall. Back at it today on the mill at 6.2. Legs wanted another day off, frankly, but I trudged through. Finally started getting loose after 4+. Beeper went off after 5.5 to dissaude me from going any further.
