AM-66º Been a very long week at work. Made time for the long run. It'll be a few weeks before things settle down. 2 Mile WU and the 4 miles at MP or faster. I did not feel like I had a good stride, so I ran the next 8 just steady. Then the final 5 at MP and it felt much  better. Many people out so I was surprised when a coyote jumped in front of me on the bike path and scampered off.

Work just has me swamped. Soon I will get a break. Soon. Memorial day. PM run 82º and windy. The classic. 10 mile warm up and then 6x3 min intervals with 2 min active recoveries. This was a warm one and a big change for me in weather. Hit all the paces and happy its in the books.

AM- 77º at the start and 82º at the finish. LOTS of bikers out and the rowing teams on the river. Just a casual wet run in the heat. 3 fast miles to keep loose.

Early and humid. Twisted my ankle over the weekend and since I have no race anytime soon I took the time off so I would not make it any worse. Took it slow and all systems were go so I did 11x30s striders to shake some rust off. Felt good. Wet, but good.
