Damn. That's legit.

I ran 2.3 miles at about 9:00 per mile.

The Invitational I was going to run in got canceled like 5 minutes after I got there due to lightning in the area.

Since I had today planned as a speed stimulus day I found the closest track and got a little time in. I did 2.5 miles to warm up, 2 miles at 5:18 per mile, and then 3 miles to cool down. I had planned on hitting 5k at the same pace and I'd like to blame the weather but my heart rate spiked almost immediately and then just stayed there until I called it. I'm going to take tomorrow off, first rest day since mid-July, and take Thursday easy to reevaluate where I stand going into my half marathon on the 13th.

I'm a little bummed but I think I'm just a bit burnt out.

6 mile shakeout and strides.

My right calf feels like it got whacked with something. It isn't affecting my stride but I can feel it when I'm walking. Dunno what happened, I sprayed some magnesium on it.

The humidity is back. After several weeks of relatively pleasant weather dew points were up into the 70s and it got up to 90 today.

6.8 mile very easy recovery run on rolling multi-use trails.

Rainy day, but did stop enough for a light recovery 6.4K. Feeling the left calf that cramped up during the Sunday's 15K race and a little right hip tightness. 

Sunday double. 6 miles in the morning scoping out Tuesday's XC race course and 4 miles this evening on the rail trail to keep it flat, relaxed, and cushy.

18.7 miles with 3X 3 miles at marathon pace (7:00-6:52), with 1 mile recovery

Nice! 1000 is a pretty big race around here!

I ran my HS alma mater's 5K XC race. 4 mile warm up, the race, and 3 mile cool down for just over 10 miles. I took 19 seconds off of my time from last year and beat my HS PR(22 years ago ).

I got invited to a DIII college invitational 4K this coming Tuesday and I'm REALLY looking forward to it. I went to and graduated from college but I didn't run so I'll be making my college racing debut at 39! And there are some bona fide All Americans in the race I'm keen to see how I stack up.

Ran back to back 10K, 5K races at a Cosplay race on Toronto Islands wearing a Project Hail Mary flight suit overall and a Rocky plushie on my shoulder. Glad the temps were in the high 60°Fs.

Did the 10K in 53:16, changed bibs, then did the 5K in 27:57. Started to cramp up in the right calf at 12K distance.

Still managed to come in 1st Place in the M65-69 in both races. Though not a lot of competition in the AG. Just over 1000 runners in total in both distances.

Did an easy double with 7 miles in the morning, 3.8 on xc ski trails in the afternoon.
