5.620.000.005.0010.62

10.62 miles, 1:22:11, 7:44/mi.  1-5-5-1 Ladder, equal rests, 1 minute increments.

Sunny and warmer today.  Sweat-fest.  A bit slower overall average pace from last time; but that's because I went about .5 further, .25 of that on not-insignificant uphill, plus the warmth.  Whatever.  I'm burnt.

10.08 miles, 1:16:17, 7:34/mi, Progression run.

Worst hip tightness in quite a while, so it took a bit to get into a groove and even then it was a bit awkward.  Nonetheless, I was moving faster than normal, breathing heavier than normal, sweating way more than normal, so I must've been getting in a good workout, right?

One of those rare days when a planned 6 miles turned into 8.  Ok, they were absolutely slow, easy, and as flat as possible around here, but nonetheless, more than planned.

12.500.000.000.0012.50

~12.5 miles, ~4 hours. 

Took Brandon on an introductory trail run in the Elbe hills.  We wound up hiking quite a bit of it but did some running here and there.  A nice day in the woods. Inadvertently stopped my Garmin for a bit, so the mileage and time are educated guesstimates.

Another run where just getting out there is a struggle and I'm always going to stop after 1 more mile.  But I got 8 in, so there.

Left hip was pretty tight for the first few miles, then just mostly tight for the rest of the run.

Later afternoon run, 85F, full sun after a day spent unloading 4 yards of topsoil from the back of the pickup truck into wheelbarrow loads for spreading.  Yes, I was a bit tired.  But 4 days off in a row is ridiculous.
