Terry Hershey. Not horrible for the first 2/3. Got soaked by a shower at the start, and then it was just nasty humid the rest of the run. Made a poor decision to try the trails heading east from Dairy Ashford - actually had to glissade on my ass down an incline or risk slipping into the bayou. Mentally spent after that, and physically wiped out by mile 10. Had to walk the last 1.1, as I was getting dizzy and nauseated. Ugh. Long month of running may have left me a bit worn out. Cutting way back next Saturday.

Hermann short + Braes. Kept things short and sweet (and slow) on a VERY icky-hot morning. Briefly considered going longer, but decided that babying a tight calf for tomorrow's long run was more prudent.

Hermann-Rice long. Focused on keeping the effort solid but sustainable. Pace felt a little faster than it turned out to be, but it never felt too taxing. Probably ready for an extra day off, which I may take after this week is done.

Hermann + Braes. A mish-mash of speed play. Planned to do 4 or 5 x 0.5 mile repeats at maybe 85%, but after the first couple I realized that my head (and legs) weren't really in the game. The rest of the middle portion of the run was ad hoc pick ups and progressions. Sloppy overall, but better than nothing.

Hermann-Rice long + Braes long. 6/7ths of it was pretty good, but I cratered over the last mile. The early pace may have been a little brisk and it was definitely one of the hotter mornings of the summer - the combination left me out of gas at the end & even forced a few very short walks. Oy.

Planned rest day.

Herman + Braes plus. Not bad after a long-ish week. Heat started to wear on me a bit at the end, but that's to be expected. Kept the pace very easy and mixed in a handful of short walks to keep the impact low. Good week.
