AM 64/76º by end, all sunshine. Just a bit sticky,  and decided to try a new workout. It seemed a bit different, but what the heck. Started my run and my legs and body are still just drained. Everything was an effort. Hope that I bounce back soon. 3.6 Mile w/u. Then 3x20s Striders @ 5k+ pace. Followed by 6 Miles at MP pace. I avg'ed 7:39/mile so right on. OK since I was in a headwind and did not feel strong. Then 10 minutes at a super slow pace (11-13/mile) - the goal is to get your body to fatigue and feel done. Then 5 More miles at MP, it is supposed to similate late marathon miles. Well my legs DID feel that way. I am not sure if it was the workout or just me. I held on and avg'ed another 7:39/mile. 1 Mile cool down. I honestly do not know how I feel about it, but happy its done.

PM- 80º Recovery run. Did some new trails, Charleston Falls - outer loop. I should have guessed falls = hills. More than I intended for a recovery, but it was all good. And hot.

70º/96% Sunshine. I started my run a little after sunrise instead of before today. Took the extra hour of sleep since I have a job interview today with a new company... which means I go in late to work with my current job. Odd when I think about it too much. 

8 Easy, 13x20s Striders @ 3ksih pace. Wet.

69/70%/wet at the start. After the sun came up it was draining, but that is what I really want to train in anyway. Saw 3 deer including a young 2 point buck, a big ol snapping turtle right next to the bike path, about 8 bunnies including 2 half the size of my shoe. Effort was there for the run, so even though my legs are still tired I am OK with it. 5 Mile w/u, then 13 (MGP 7:39) splits were 7:35, 7:22, 7:28, 7:29, 7:26, 7:31, 7:34, 7:36, 7:33, 7:23, 7:27, 7:35, 7:35 That's a 7:30 avg in the sunshine. 2 Mile c/d.
