- run 9.2 km in 45:48 [tempo 1 km x 3:45; 500m @3:42, dead]
struggle bus. very humid, felt pre-crampy. shut it down, finished chill. ugh.

- stretch

not every workout can be a good workout.

- run 9.68 km in 51:33 [strides x 30s, 20s, 30s]
right knee pulling a bit on the first stride rep, which i did starting at 3 km. second rep okay, third rep pulling a little again.

- stretch

not so hot but the humidity is back in a big way. woof.

no doubt. in all seriousness i bet you could get there with patience, if you set it as a goal and really focused on it.

- run 9.06 km in 46:22
5:07 pace, right on target for a relaxed run with 19:30 5k pace as the goal, based on that one training calculator i used months ago.

57.3 km seven-day volume, which is a huge (>10%) PR and probably also means i should take a day off tomorrow just in the interest of not pushing myself too fast, AERS, etc. if gf wants to do yoga maybe i'll do that. 

faffing is a great word that i've picked up from my (british) gf. great word.

morning joint circles are smart, should get back to doing something like that. only takes ~5 minutes to go top to bottom, feels great.

lance armstrong was the most tested athlete in the world at one time. maybe i'm just being cynical, but the smoke ain't that old: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/sports/nike-oregon-project-alberto-salazar-dathan-ritzenhein.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share&_r=0

oregon project, massive PR...drugs. gotta at least suspect given how much smoke there is.

yep detaching from the discomfort and watching from outside definitely sounds familiar.

worked until 7 last night and then had to go straight to a work dinner so no run. slept badly as well, second night in a row. bah. tonight may go for the long run, especially if i can get my gf to come with for the first 4-6 km and set the pace nice and slow.
