AM - 3 miles easy with Finn in the neighborhood before work  - with some light rain for part of the run.  Storms are blowing in today.

 

PM - did a workout on the treadmill at lunchtime.  5 x half mile with 3 min recovery.  AP was just over 3 mins. Last 2 were under 3 mins.  Felt pretty solid. In fact, I probably had a few more reps in me - but decided against overdoing it.  I have a feeling I will feel beat tomorrow and/or the next day.

PM - did a tempo workout on the treadmill - just over 6 miles after a 20 min warm up - AP on the tempo part was 6:50.  Not too bad.  Cool down.  Probably going to regret having done this much volume as my legs are already feeling it - but I felt good.

PM -  4 miles easy on the treadmill at lunchtime.  Did not really feel too fatigued or sore - but nevertheless kept it to just 4 miles and a light pace.

PM - watched the replay of the Nike Breaking2 - whilst I ran on the treadmill.  Fascinating.  Did not even realize I had been running for that long or that far - I was so engaged.
