Running 1:00:53 [3] 6.2 mi (9:49 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Braes long + Hermann + Braes.

Thursday Jan 21, 2016 #

Running 56:35 [3] 5.8 mi (9:45 / mi)
ahr:131 max:147 slept:7.0 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Braes + Hermann + Braes. Foggy, humid morning. First run with the new watch. Very nice. Light, easy to use, easy to read, and picked up HR right away. There's a pretty big discrepancy between what I've been measuring this route at and what the GPS said, so I'm probably slower in absolute terms. Going to keep the distances as they are on this log for the time being because it provides a more accurate sense of improvement against a long history. Once the Garmin site has enough data, I'll be able to do the same there. Threw in 5 longer moderate paced intervals, run at no more than 10 bpm over MAF.

Running 1:03:32 [3] 6.2 mi (10:15 / mi)
slept:7.0 weight:152lbs shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Braes long + Hermann + Braes. Mild, pleasant morning - short sleeves weather. Goal was to keep the effort really easy and slow to make sure it was a MAF-level run. Tiny bit concerned that my recent easy days may not have been easy enough. Will get a better sense of where I'm at when the new leash arrives later today.

Running 49:32 [3] 5.2 mi (9:32 / mi)
slept:6.5 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Braes + Hermann. Felt colder than the purported 50 degrees. Still, a nice morning. Slow around Braes, followed by a bunch of fartlek work. Short & varying efforts. Always enjoyable.

Running 1:00:31 [3] 6.2 mi (9:46 / mi)
slept:7.0 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Braes long + Hermann + Braes. Pretty chilly morning, but nice. Easy effort. Paying extra attention to the PF issue in the left foot. It's not a bad, but I don't want it to get that way. Also, odd sensation just above the right Achilles on the lateral side. Not exactly tight, just weird.

Walking 56:55 [3] 3.1 mi (18:22 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Mid-afternoon walk through the park - gorgeous day.

Saturday Jan 16, 2016 #

Running 1:21:58 [3] 8.2 mi (10:00 / mi)
slept:7.0 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Braes long + Hermann-Rice long + Braes. Cool, clear morning - pretty much ideal running weather. Felt excellent start to finish. Very relaxed pace. No lingering effects from Bandera. Off tomorrow & then back at it with more structure.

Friday Jan 15, 2016 #

Running 50:53 [3] 5.2 mi (9:47 / mi)
slept:7.0 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Hermann + Braes. Mild morning. Legs felt fine. I'll try to get back on the leash (if it works) next week.

Thursday Jan 14, 2016 #

Running 51:03 [3] 5.2 mi (9:49 / mi)
slept:6.5 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Braes + Hermann. Mild with a little light rain. Legs didn't feel as flat this morning. Felt pretty good overall.

Wednesday Jan 13, 2016 #

Running 44:32 [3] 4.6 mi (9:41 / mi)
slept:7.0 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Hermann. Felt colder than it was - 40 and fairly humid. Back at it. Legs were ok - definitely somewhat flat. An easy week ahead until they regain some pep.

Tuesday Jan 12, 2016 #

Legs feel fine, but I'm going to take another day. Just because.

Monday Jan 11, 2016 #

Running 7:42:25 [3] 31.0 mi (14:55 / mi)
slept:4.0 shoes: Altra Lone Peak 2.5

Bandera. Despite a lot of good things (weather, course conditions, overall fitness), a number of mistakes put my head in a bad place and made pulling the plug all too easy. Not sure if I'm going to focus on super long stuff like this. At least for a while. Kind of tired of being a plodder (as in really, really f-ing tired), so getting some leg speed back will be a short term focus. After that, who knows.

Thursday Jan 7, 2016 #

Running 30:02 [3] 3.1 mi (9:41 / mi)
slept:7.0 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Hermann short. A final shake out to keep everything loose. The work is done. Time to see if there's a pay off.

Wednesday Jan 6, 2016 #

Running 43:44 [3] 4.6 mi (9:30 / mi)
slept:7.5 weight:152lbs shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Hermann. Chilly with light rain that turned into moderate rain over the last couple of miles. Brrrr. Something about 3-ish and slow tomorrow & off Friday.

Tuesday Jan 5, 2016 #

Running 44:02 [3] 4.6 mi (9:34 / mi)
ahr:132 max:147 slept:6.5 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Hermann. Legit cold morning. New HRM strap didn't make much difference, as it read 00 for the half of the run before deciding to wake its lazy ass up. Whatever. I'll screw with it after Bandera. Had some tightness in the upper left hamstring / groin a little while after yesterday's run, so I wanted to be careful with this one. Feels ok now. Always seems like the little niggles start cropping up at taper time. Bandera stoke is increasing.

Monday Jan 4, 2016 #

Running 49:48 [3] 5.2 mi (9:35 / mi)
slept:7.5 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Hermann + Braes. Quite chilly this morning, but nice. Very relaxed, short taper-week effort.

Sunday Jan 3, 2016 #

Planned zero.

Saturday Jan 2, 2016 #

Running 2:23:52 [3] 13.5 mi (10:39 / mi)
slept:7.5 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0 (black)

Memorial long + BB Park long + Memorial long (Purple / Log Road half loop). Chilly, slightly damp morning. Really solid last run of any distance before Bandera. Super relaxed throughout. The work is done.

Friday Jan 1, 2016 #

Running 50:21 [3] 5.2 mi (9:41 / mi)
slept:6.5 shoes: Skora Fit

Hermann + Braes. Chilly and windy first run of the new year. Was supposed to be on leash, but the stupid f-ing HRM didn't want to cooperate, so it got left at home. Think the belt is messed up. It's the cheapest potential fix, so I'll try a new one first. Kept it at a MAF-ish perceived effort. Realized that the Skoras exacerbate the issue with my left heel/arch, so I'll use them sparingly (if at all) until after Bandera.
