  • 3.65 miles
  • 10m 10s /Mi

Ez run 'round the 'hood. Feeling pretty good (after my weekend off...yeesh), but moving slow.

Run
  • 1h 00m 25s
  • 6.19 miles
  • 09m 45s /Mi

Round the 'hood. Humid and overcast. 70ish. 15' warmup, the 3x1 mile cruise intervals. Just wanted to keep this under HIM race pace, gradually getting faster: 9:04, 8:47, 8:31. Perfect.

Today's burning question...to swim or not to swim this afternoon? I'm enjoying some puppy love right now. Hate to leave it. Plus, things to do around the house, which will make the weekend more manageable. I could swim over the weekend. Maybe. Or not.

May 1 and it is summertime hot! I love cool weather running, but have to admit I loved the heat and sweat today. Didn't run hard or far, so that probably made a difference. 

Lots of work and not enough time (as usual), so I adjusted my training for the week to start taper earlier than I had planned. I was going to just go with a 1-week taper plan.  Figured that might work better for the stacked race season. I may get some more time on the bike, but I've planned for less to reduce the overall stress load.
