General Aerobic + Speed
Out and back to Rt. 29 along 216 with 6 x 100 strides mixed in. Legs felt "alien" - best word I can use to expain it. Felt strange to try and pick up the pace/cadence on the strides. Legs were dead and it seemed like I had no form or anything and that running was something I just learned how to do (only way I can describe it).

Out and back to Triadelphia circle. Tried to go easy, but coming back was into the wind, so it was a bit harder. Max. HR was blasting down the road to get to the neighborhood (I always like to hammer the 53/11 and get over 40 mph on that part).
Recovery
Crappy run again. I think I'm fatigued from all the effort of earlier in the year. Just totally not feeling it right now in any of the disciplines. After my 5k next week I may take the rest of the week off from excercise to try and get "it" back ........
Trying to figure out my sweat rate as well to see just what I need for my longer events. Today's ride was the first crack at it .......
Before weight - 177.6. After weight - 176.0. Drank 18 oz. of water and had two Gu's in that period (1.1 oz. each) for a total of 20.2 oz. consumed over the 1:11:28 time period.
Using the calculator at Triharder.com that comes out to a 38 oz./hr. rate. Seems kinda high to me ....... but we'll keep trying it out to see what sort of averages I get. Definitely means my one bottle an hour ain't gonna cut it!!

General Aerobic
Out and back to I-95. Totally wasn't feeling it and was dying on the way back. It was in to the wind, but that was no excuse for how I felt. Really fatigued and had nothing. I actually stopped at the 9 mile mark, walked about 4/10ths of a mile then started up again slowly to get home. It would have been a 10.2 mile run had I gone the whole distance. Didn't bring the HRM with me, which was probably a good thing.
I am pretty sure I can blame it on an afternoon run (I pretty much only run in the morning) with only having eaten two glazed donuts, a tall Starbucks regular coffee, a homemade mocha (we have a machine I got for Mir for X-Mas), and a few dark chocolate peanut clusters. So no real food today. ;-P

We have a lot to do today around the house and yard as well as doing some garden shopping stuff for Mir. Planning on a rest day for sure tomorrow, but if I can sneak out for a ride today it would be nice. But having two rest days may get me back in the swing too.
