Good run. First hour plus in a long, long time. Sciatica kicked in at 5 miles but eased by 6. Pace was a bit speedier than it has been too.

White water rafting on the Penobscot. Quite a wild way to get x-training, but the paddling was a workout.

Slow run w Michelle in Abol, on logging road. Started at a very slow jog, sped up a bit throughout, very enjoyable. Glad to get a run in during the trip.

New shoes, so milled and hit some buttons. Fast is relative these days, but did 6 x 1:00 accelerations and got close to 7:00 pace at the end. Shoes feel OK, bit of a weird flex to the upper so we'll see.

Schooner Head. Tried to run steady and not too slow and it barely got me < 9:00 pace. Yeesh. A ways to go for sure.

Wanted to push more than I did at JAXfit because I know my knee can take it. My ancient, dying Garmin 205 died during warmup, so no splits and flew blind for the race. Went out a bit too hard I think, but moved up in the pack for the most part. Had no kick and had a couple guys go by me in the last .1, but with no speed workouts that's no surprise. Happy with my time as my B goal was 22:xx and my A goal sub-7:00 pace, so A goal achieved. Now, maybe some speedwork is in order.

Beautiful day, planned 4 miles turned into 5 around Schooner Head. Felt OK, didn't push.

Felt awful and slow at first, gradually improved. Heavy humidity, dead air.

Very pleasant, very slow run with Ben. Stomach bad so kept it on the easy side of easy, felt surprisingly good in slow trot mode though.

On the treadmill with some pickups to help with the boredom. Also rowed 10 minutes on the new Concept 2s in the fitness center.

Felt pretty awful before BSC but slogged through it on the flat 4. Very humid.

Humidity is killing me. Slogged Schooner Head, had to do a lot of self-flagellation to get out there at all.

Slow slow slow around WHP, PH and to EL and back. 100% humidity and the temp climbed into the mid 70s--awful! But everything functioned and felt about the same towards the end as I did near the beginning, so I suppose that's a good thing.

Still murky and humid, but a cool breeze off the coast made this much more tolerable. Legs tired after 3 days in a row, may take tomorrow off.

Knee a little sore and rather warm out at noon, so took it slow around Schooner Head.
