LM warmup, 8.14 miles in 1:03:06, 7:45/mi, HR 161 w/ 2 mile warmup, 2 x Drills, 6 x Strides, 15 x 1 min on/off Fartleks, 2+ mi cooldown, 1.5 mi dog walk/jog (1 mi jogging), core workout & stretching.

Beautiful fall day...shorts and rolled up long-sleeve shirt weather.  Legs weary but willing.  1 minute repeats better than last week but still gasp-ers with plenty of walking during the recoveries.  Same pattern....13 generally uphill, last 2 downhill.  Didn't quite feel so dead on the cooldown miles though.

LM warmup, 10.04 miles in 1:18:04, 7:47/mi, HR 157 & stretching.

Hit the steep hill loop to start then out and back on the normal route.  Pushed the last couple of miles down into MP.  Managed to just catch the start of the rain.

LM warmup, 7.13 miles in 55:23, 7:46/mi, HR 154, w/ 12 x 12-15 sec Hill Sprints, 1.5 mile walk/jog (1 mi jogging) w/ dog & stretching.

Another rainy day.  Tired today and feeling the mileage this week.  Tomorrow's should be another hard workout but I'm not sure if I'll be up for that with the increasing mileage yet, so I'll play it by ear.  Discovered that my "12 second" hill sprints were closer to 14 or 15, so I changed finish markers for the last few.  Been that way since moving to the new hill, I guess.  No wonder they're kicking my arse.

Miserable weather.  Forced myself outside to start today's run but by 2 miles in, knew I just wasn't into an easy workout, much less a hard one.  Legs were complaining loudly the whole time so I bailed.  At least I made it out the door.

LM warmup, 10.1 miles in 1:15:19, 7:28/mi, HR 160, w/ 2 mile warmup, 6 miles Steady State (4 up, 2 down), 2 mile cooldown.  Core workout & stretching afterwards.

Ugh.  Still not feeling it today, but pushed ahead anyway.  My "steady state" portion was definitely slower than it should be and I would up taking quick breathers every mile, using the mental trick "one more mile and that's it" to get me through to the end.  Not very pretty.

20.000.000.000.0020.00

LM warmup, 20 treadmill miles in 2:36:36, 7:50/mi, w/ increasing incline (1-4 1%, 5-8 2%, 9-12 3%, 13-16 4%, 17-18 5%, 19-20 back to 1%), & stretching.

Couldn't bring myself to face the constant downpour outside, so I resigned myself to the treadmill with some mindless fare to keep me entertained (The Hangover).  Was planning on 16 today, but I managed to talk myself into 18 and then 20, with thoughts of blowing up at Boston if I don't get my running act together dancing through my head.
