brutal migraine started around 1 AM, also baby was whale-tailing constantly. no sleep. i threw up copiously around 4:30 AM. first time puking from a migraine in like 18 months. headache faded gradually throughout the day but i have been very depleted. needless to say, i did not even try to run. headache coming back a little now but hopefully it's just the postdrome bump and i'll be able to sleep tonight.

yesterday

- run 55:58, 10.41 km
felt good, left achilles and left hamstring a little tight for the first few minutes but warmed up.

today

- long run w/ SubT 3 x 2.5 km (60")
-- intervals @ 4:17,15,17
-- total 1:36:28, 19.36 km
HR never went over 158. deliberately ran the final rep conservatively but could have gotten away with doing a bit harder today.

very, very tired. had a low grade migraine from yesterday into this morning but it went away after another sumatriptan and a nap. baby reign of sleep torture continues. last two nights have been rough. hasn't shown up in the running yet, though.

yesterday

- run 56:31, 10.47 km
there we go.

today

- SubT 10 x 3" (60")
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:04-16
-- cool down
uphill/downhill variance on the reps. felt pretty good. ran in altra vanish carbons that i bought off a guy on reddit whom they didn't fit. much firmer than the adidas shoes i usually run in but i didn't hate them. lower drop (4mm) noticeable but not uncomfortable. will be interesting to see how my calves feel tomorrow. the toe box volume isn't great, surprisingly - big toenails were touching the fabric - so i'd never run a marathon in them. but for a workout like this that was okay. if nothing feels off tomorrow then i might just keep them in the mix for workouts.

the baby has not let us sleep the last couple nights.

- SubT 5 3 x 1.5 km (60")
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:12-18
-- cool down
done on a paved trail near my parents' house, a branch of the one i usually run on. it was covered in leaves so pretty slippery. this was objectively not taxing, HR peaked at 162 and averages were normal; pace spread is down to uphill/downhill. but subjectively it felt hard and my breathing was more labored than usual. i never have to do three steps per breath during workouts, always four or even five, but i was today on the last rep. second day in a row slower than usual, and so i cut it short. maybe the sunday workout overcook took more out of me than i thought.

lol the course profile is hilarious. just straight up right out of the gate. we have a lot of travel already on the docket for next year but it's tempting, maybe even to do the 50k! if the year shakes out right, i might do the jfk again in late november so the timing would be good for a hilly race.

would just have to convince my wife that october is the right time to go visit her brother and his family...

beautiful, beautiful weather. 10 degrees, sunny, a light breeze. we earn days like this here, with the long swampy summer. overcooked the last rep because i was feeling good and also there was a pair jogging along ahead of me at ~4:20 pace and it would have been awkward to pass them so slowly at 4:16 or whatever, so i picked it up and just kept it there. bit more than 10% above T, which is not ideal, but i forgive myself, lol. i'm generally very good with that.

super tired today, i guess. didn't look at watch and ended up running slower than usual. HR averaged 118 so it's not like i was struggling out there. beautiful day, the leaves are pretty near peak in the park so it was extra nice.

- SubT 10 x 3' (60")
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:03-13, last one fastest
-- cool down
even warmer this afternoon, 23-24 degrees, and also windier. still this was properly SubT, HR never got over 161 and that only in the final rep. never averaged over 149 in any given rep. unless it's hot and humid, three minutes isn't long enough for HR to really build, at least with 60" rests.

must be the new shoes. warmer today (21-22 degrees) but still this was 5+ seconds faster than i'm used to. i'm starting to get a little buildup toward a blood blister on the inside of my left big toe, same spot as before. i wonder if a pedicurist can deal with that or if i just need to go back to the podiatrist. will try to debride myself but it might be too far gone at this point. annoying.
