LM warmup, 10.10 miles in 1:19:06, 7:50/mi, HR 160, w/ 2 mile warmup, 6 x Strides, 2 x Drills, 4 x 1 mile repeats w/ 3 min rest, 3 x 1 min on/off repeats, 2+ mile cooldown, core workout & stretching.

Rainy and cool (38F).   Warmup was slow, strides & drills felt good, but motivation was nearly non-existent.  Mile repeats in 6:38, 6:51, 7:13, and 6:20, with the first three uphill and the last a mix of up and downhill.  3 x 1 min on/off felt good.....short enough that breathing didn't become an issue and fast because they were either on the flats or downhill (5:25/mi, 4:59/mi, and 4:57/mi paces).  Cooldown was necessarily slow.

LM warmup 8.08 miles in 1:04:09, 7:56/mi, w/ 12 x 12 sec Hill Sprints & stretching.

HR monitor on the fritz today.  Oh well.  Quick turnover but short stride was the result of yesterday's hard workout today.  Wasn't sure the 1st mile was going to be under a 9 min pace for a while.  Hill sprints were decent but uninspired.

4.178.000.000.0012.17

LM warmup, 12.17 miles in 1:27:51, 7:13/mi, HR 161, w/ 2 mile warmup, 8 Steady State miles (5 uphill, 3 downhill), & 2+ mile cooldown, core workout & stretching.

Late run again today.  Feeling tired and worn down.  Wanted to quit after the warmup, punted on the Strides/Drills and went straight into the Steady State.  Aside from tired legs/body, not bad.  A slower first mile but the rest were as fast if not faster and did not require the stops every 2 miles.  Legs were getting fried by miles 7 & 8 of the SS portion; otherwise I probably could've pushed through and done 10 SS miles.  But better to leave a bit in the tank.

LM warmup, 8.13 miles in 1:04:05, 7:53/mi, HR 148 & stretching.

Easy late-day run.  Weather warmer and pretty pleasant.  Not bad aside from the stomach woes from forgetting to take a lactaid dose this morning with my cereal.  Ugh.

LM warmup, 20.03 miles in 2:38:44, 7:55/mi, HR 150 & stretching.

Just plain worn out today but determined to get the long run done.  Spent the morning at puppy kindergarden, so the run was afterwards.  Got 1 mile done then the landscaper showed up unexpectedly to discuss another project that just cropped up.  2.5 hours later, onto the last 19 miles of the run.  A bit flatter than the last long run, but still plenty of climbing.  Fought the general fatigue more than anything.  Glad to be done.
