« Last post by LBSS on July 20, 2026, 11:45:51 am »- SubT 3x10 mins x 10,10,4 mins
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:20, 4:21, 4:22
-- cool down
T+DI 143, went out mid-late morning and it was warmer but less humid than it's been. the wildfire smoke seems to have passed, at least. week of total layoff = dialed back intensity, i cut the third rep off at 4 minutes. will plan to do similar on wednesday and friday. also the track isn't open this late so i ran around the other neighborhood high school, which is a little hillier.

« Last post by LBSS on July 19, 2026, 11:33:33 am »- run 56:29, 10.43 km
ran by feel, shooting for easy but not very easy. did not check watch. HR ended up at 134, which is fine because T+DI is 153. i'm gonna have to get used to running at less than ideal times, especially in these early weeks while the baby's got no melatonin and so does not distinguish between day and night. felt so good to get back on my feet.

- assisted with birth of baby daughter
it has been a hell of a week. but we're home with her now and everyone is healthy, knock wood. did not get a single lick of training in - in fact, activity was so low during the four days we were in the hospital that my ankles got a little swollen! i tried to go for a run today but the canadian wildfires make the air feel like you're sucking on a tailpipe so i bailed. not worth it. yesterday was worse and i think we have some rain coming so hopefully the air will clear up soon enough. i can't leave wife and daughter for long enough yet to go run at a gym. so these first couple of weeks training will be sporadic. i will lift, though, since we have the setup.
congratulations!!!!
