AM - 61 degrees in Michigan, couldn't pass up those temps. 10 recovery. I ate like a bandit yesterday at the wedding reception. The groom side is Jewish Russian and they controlled the food. Steak, Salmon, burgers, rice, potatoes, sautéed green beans.... I enjoyed that!

Air was heavy. At least the sun was covered when it came out. The classic. 10 mile warm up then 6x3 min intervals at 10k to 5k effort with 2 minute active recoveries. Couldn't hold paces the last few, but effort was there. Tired legs, this one wore me out.

Ohio.... I live in Ohio. Explain to me why it was 80º at 5 am? No hyperbole, no stretching the truth. Just 80º. I know you Texas/Florida guys deal with this often, but I am over a 1000 miles north. Negative attitude over :) 

Hot. Wet. But I was determined to get my run in. I was trying to balance miles with MP miles. This was my breakdown. 1-3 Easy, 3-5 SubMP, 5-8 Easyish,  8-10 MP, 10-13 slowish, 13-15 MP, 16-19 Easy, 19-20 a little speed, some hills, some slow and a jump in the river. Saw a few deer in the river and overall satisfied with my week. I am thankful to be back at it this year, long layoffs due to injury make me appreciate be able to get out in run no matter what the conditions.
