- run 59:11, 10.51 km
very easy pace, given the extra load over the weekend; concentrated on not letting HR go above 125. failed for just a bit on the steepest part of the climb out of the park but overall averaged 120, so that's good. T+DI 153. it's gonna be beastly this week, hopefully summer's last gasp.
i'm leaning towards bailing on the DC half, for logistical reasons more than anything. we just still have no rhythm with the baby.

- run 1:44:03, 19.00 km w/ 1 km @ "strong" pace
T+DI 160 (88 temp + 72 dew point), HR fluctuated a bit as a result but still averaged 131. did km 17 in 4:40 just to mix things up a little.

yesterday
nothing, just straight-up too tired.
today
- SubT 10 x 3 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:01-4:11 w/ 60s+ rest
-- cool down
in AP4s. negative split overall, i.e., the latter five intervals were quicker on average than the first five. warm running to hot in the sun but less humid than it's been and there was a nice breeze. did my new road loop again, think i'll stick with ut.

- SubT 5 x 6 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:13-16
-- cool down
found a ~1 km road loop that's, while not flat, at least free of steep climbs and very light on vehicle traffic. the neighbors there are gonna think i'm so weird.

legs a bit dead to start out but felt okay after a couple km. was worried that i had run the SubT session yesterday too hard, given the conditions, but HR topped out at 164 and averaged in the mid-150s for the second and third sets so guess it was okay.

- SubT 3 x 10 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:23-24
-- cool down
run around midday and school is back in session so had to do on streets instead of track, i.e., with terrain/elevation change. slower than i've been as a result. on the plus side, less boring.

oh yeah, that's more like it. T+DI 148 but these felt easy. HR never went above 158.
