PM - 19 miles on the treadmill for my long run today.  Too warm and humid outside for a long run this afternoon, plus I was having some GI issues and potentially had a need for a bathroom nearby - so indoor treadmil miles was the answer.  Watched some soccer and then the PGA Championship while listening to an audiobook.

AM - very slow 3.25 miles this morning with Finn on the golf course in the dark with some light rain.

PM - 7.25 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime.  Energy levels are on the low side today.

PM - lunchtime workout - 2 x 2 miles at MP with a 5 min rest between.  Warm up and cool down - all on the treadmill.  This was very manageable today for me with good HR and pace at 6:45-to 6:49.

AM - so I did not feel like doing a morning run today - as I awoke a little tired and fatigued - but my dog, Finn was having none of it.  He whined and cajoled - essentially imploring me to venture out into the dark and rain with him.  So we did.  3 miles easy.  

 

PM - lunchtime workout on the treadmill.  1 mile warm up then 8 miles uptempo with the last mile at MP.  Avg pace 7:05.    Decent effort.  A bit higher on the HR then I would have liked - but I also probably should have taken an extra day of rest/easy running before hitting this.  Pleased nonetheless.  Easy aerobic running through the weekend planned.

AM - got a late start this morning - very hilly route - and an untimely fall between miles 13 and 14 but it is in the books.  20.25 miles.
