SH with 6 x 1:00 pickups, 1:00 rest. Hot and hazy so didn't go all out, but worked on a bit of turnover. 6:25 pace downhill, 7:25 pace up, ~7:00 level.

Had no zip this morning at all! Finally motivated myself out to Lab, Schooner Head after dropping off L. Very slow but got the miles.

5 miles out SH with Kevin. Packed the wrong shoes! Ian's x-trainers worked ok for one run though. Ran slow and felt OK after fighting a mild bug for a few days.

Very slow and easy--a little sore after yesterday's run in the wrong shoes, but nothing bad.

Ran slow to past Highseas, then 8 x 1:00 hard, 1:00 easy to Great Head. Felt pretty stressed at times--warm day--but was able to finish OK.

Around WHP + PH with Shannon. Cool rainy morning. Felt tired with dragging legs but was able to run steady, nice to have company.

Good grief, felt awful. Glad I wasn't packing the Garmin today--just slogged through 4 miles at a crawl. Humid but not all that warm and only partly sunny, so didn't overheat, just didn't have it today.

Slow, logey despite cool, cloudy weather, just beating the rain. Not sure what's up this week--gradually improving but still not all that good.

With Shannon around WHP/PH. Felt a little better this morning, cool mist helped.

Snuck in a quick run before BSC. Something of a microwave run, quicker than normal.

Easy run with Shannon, both feeling a bit challenged but made it fine. Warm, humid day, so good to run easy.

Slow, with Shannon, around WHP/PH. Gorgeous morning, felt OK at last. Was very lazy yesterday, maybe just needed a little down time after a lot of activity, even if most of it wasn't running.

Felt pretty logey, and my hip extensor started to hurt a lot by the end of the run. Not a great day overall.

Microwave run, rather quick out SH and back. Cool sunshine, felt a lot better than yesterday, no leg issues.

Ran quite slow, but that's fine. Felt good, cool cloudy weather helped.
