legs were heavy, tight, and tired. with that said i had a great rest yesterday and pulled off the quickest fartlek this block without too much effort.

still host and humid (no surprise) but more cloud cover today. no kids but beth came and was able to cheer me on in a couple of places which was fun. the last bit she yelled "five to go!" which kind of got in my head a bit, albeit i think the heat started to get to me as well. had to take a couple of brief walks just to recollect and focus again. pretty good training run. keeping it in the green for the most part and around marathon pace. can't wait to see how cooler weather and more training will pay off!

brutally hot and humid. body was fine for the most part but it definitely had my HR high. saw ray on the course pacing someone and talked to him for a bit which was a nice break. i felt good about the run even though it was exhausting. took me quite a while to cool down afterwards.

kept singing the marine corps hymn throughout the run. the humidity is back up today at 99% so felt harder than it was.

it was just okay. feeling a bit tired after moving all the workouts to be clustered together.

pretty average. at about 2 miles in my right knee hurt a bit but i corrected my form and it went away. the last mile (or after the hill really) i pushed it a bit to see if i could sustain around what i thought was an 8:00 pace.

early morning due to gymnastics meet today. did three four mile loops and one three miler. nice chill to the air and felt pretty good overall. the last mile was probably the hardest but that was more mental than physical.

missed all the pace ranges i was aiming for. i did keep the progression alive, but just quicker in each mile. the heart rate was still in a good range thankfully.

pace was actually 10:00 but paused waiting for kelly to run the second half. conversational the entire way and kept pretty easy.

bit slow and tight in the first mile or two but was able to eventually find my stride and rhythm. actually felt pretty easy which i hope is a good sign.

not much of a base run. did not feel rough at all, but my HR was higher than i wanted. pretty much standard quo these last few weeks.

did loops around the block since we had to leave early this morning. going to be a busy day (and night) so moved this run to today instead of tomorrow. pretty nice out, but it was beyond boring.
good thing i moved my run because no way i was going to be able to finish one after getting home around 0400. it was a fun night out with glen and ash, but it may take a day or two to recover!

Weather was a bit cooler with a nice breeze. just really congested from beginning to end and made breathing a chore. very nice to get out. minus dealing with a dead rat on the bridge.

beautiful morning. tons of energy. was worried my right calf may give me problems being so tight this morning but thankfully it did not. such a drastic difference from the recent long run.

right calf is still a bit tight from the charlie horse. body felt fine otherwise although a bit tough to breathe with the humidity. wore the new mach 5s that came a few days ago and they were a bit tight.

mmm, enjoyed it. at 0100 this morning i woke up to my right calf seizing (not sure if that is the right term). when i finally got up at 0500-ish to prep for the run it was still tight (still is hours later) but stretching helped out a bunch. do not think it affected the run really though. that or i just did not care because i was enjoying the low humidity too much.

I will say though if it is truly learning at the rate they say then it should be a good tool.
