Running 1:02:38 [3] 5.8 mi (10:48 / mi)
ahr:129 max:148 slept:7.0 weight:156lbs shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann-Rice short. Noticeably more humid & touch warmer this morning. The better part of this one was quite excellent. Very relaxed and easy. Messed up the watch & had to start it again a little less than 1/2 way through. That early part of the run was at an average HR of 126, so I definitely could have pushed more. HR got a little spikey over the last 1.5, for whatever reason, so I slowed down a touch. Still, a very good run.

Running 56:40 [3] 5.6 mi (10:07 / mi)
ahr:130 max:143 slept:7.5 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann + Braes long. Almost cool this morning. Almost. Just really smooth and easy. One of the better ones.

Walking 37:00 [3] 2.0 mi (18:30 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow4

Braes. Relaxed after-dinner walk.

Monday Sep 28, 2015 #

Running 53:20 [3] 5.2 mi (10:15 / mi)
ahr:128 max:142 slept:7.5 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann + Braes. Fairly pleasant weather this morning. A test of the right foot - verdict: it's ok. Everything else felt better than ok. Really relaxed. Should have pushed a bit more.

Sunday Sep 27, 2015 #

Walking 50:02 [3] 3.1 mi (16:08 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann. Right foot was a bit sore from yesterday's run. 8 miles is probably the top end right now for hard surface running in the Skoras. Decided to skip the run today & get out for an easy walk instead.

Saturday Sep 26, 2015 #

Running 1:32:48 [3] 8.1 mi (11:27 / mi)
ahr:132 max:143 slept:7.5 shoes: Skora Fit

Braes long + Hermann-Rice long + Braes short. Decent morning weather wise. Not as relaxed as yesterday. HR was a bit more variable & had to focus on keeping things near MAF (read: slow down). But all in all, a successful "long" run.

Friday Sep 25, 2015 #

Running 56:26 [3] 5.6 mi (10:05 / mi)
ahr:130 max:143 slept:7.0 shoes: Skora Fit

Hermann + Braes long. A little muggier than yesterday, but not awful. Didn't matter because for most of this one I felt tremendous. Super, super relaxed and strong. I'll take it.

Thursday Sep 24, 2015 #

Running 58:13 [3] 5.6 mi (10:24 / mi)
ahr:129 max:140 slept:7.5 shoes: PureConnect3

Hermann + Braes long. Not exactly cool, but mild and dry. Really not bad at all. Everything felt super solid and easy. Probably should have pushed the pace a tiny bit.

Wednesday Sep 23, 2015 #

Running 1:03:29 [3] 5.9 mi (10:46 / mi)
ahr:129 max:147 slept:6.0 weight:157lbs shoes: Skora Fit

Hermann-Rice short. Slightly cooler (but still humid) morning. HR stayed well below the limit for much of this one, and I probably could have pushed a bit more, but I was content & relaxed.

Tuesday Sep 22, 2015 #

Running 55:26 [3] 5.2 mi (10:40 / mi)
ahr:130 max:143 slept:7.5 shoes: Skora Fit

Hermann + Braes. Ahhh, blessed sleep. Felt pretty good on this muggy ass morning. Fairly relaxed the whole way. Not terribly quick, but it was enjoyable.

Monday Sep 21, 2015 #

Note
slept:5.0 (rest day)

Horrid night's sleep. Fell asleep right away then an hour & a half later, I was wide awake and all wound up. Grrrr. Outside chance of getting out for a short run after work. Like a way outside chance.

Sunday Sep 20, 2015 #

Running 1:10:16 [3] 6.4 mi (10:59 / mi)
ahr:130 max:143 slept:8.0 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann-Rice short + Braes. Super chill effort. Focused on staying relaxed and at / under MAF as much as possible. When the HR would creep up, I slowed down for a moment. Maybe the most consistent, relaxed MAF run yet.

Walking 1:20:00 [3] 4.2 mi (19:03 / mi)
shoes: PureConnect3

Rice Metro and Minute Maid. Walked to the MetroRail station and then to the ballpark and back after the game.

Saturday Sep 19, 2015 #

Running 1:21:04 [3] 7.2 mi (11:16 / mi)
ahr:133 max:144 slept:8.0 shoes: Skora Fit

Hermann-Rice long + Braes. Longest MAF run yet. Warm morning led to a slightly slower pace, but I didn't mind. Felt good throughout. Time to nudge up the volume & see what happens.

Walking 47:11 [3] 3.0 mi (15:44 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann. Late afternoon. Hot but dry and not unpleasant. Tried to keep the pace crisp, but I'm a terrible walker.

Thursday Sep 17, 2015 #

Running 46:43 [3] 4.4 mi (10:37 / mi)
ahr:133 max:150 slept:7.0 shoes: Skora Fit

Hermann. Would have typically taken the day off, but, get this, I kind of enjoy running again (even on a nasty ass, humid morning). Started out a little too amped up, but fell into a more MAF-y pace & kept it short. Zero tomorrow.

Wednesday Sep 16, 2015 #

Running 53:14 [3] 5.2 mi (10:14 / mi)
ahr:131 max:144 slept:7.0 weight:158lbs shoes: PureConnect3

Hermann + Braes. Humid but not horrible. Felt nice and relaxed throughout.

Tuesday Sep 15, 2015 #

Running 53:42 [3] 5.2 mi (10:20 / mi)
ahr:135 max:146 slept:7.5 shoes: Skora Fit

Hermann + Braes. Real Feel was 66 yesterday and 83 this morning. Ugh. It was nice while it lasted (which usually isn't long this time of year). HR was generally about 5 beats over MAF during the last half. Was feeling just a little edgy this morning & that spilled over into the run, as I couldn't really settle into a relaxed groove. I just went with it though rather than slow down more. The Skoras are very interesting. Like a super high-tech version of the old NB 790s. Slippery fit, really light & flexible, but with a pretty protective outsole. I think they'll definitely have a place in the quiver, especially when I get back to some soft trails.

Monday Sep 14, 2015 #

Running 50:44 [3] 5.2 mi (9:45 / mi)
ahr:132 max:144 slept:7.0 shoes: PureConnect3

Hermann + Braes. Woo hoo! Finally managed sub-10:00 / mile. Took a cool morning, a clear head, and feeling really dialed in. With the return of warmer morning temps, it may be awhile before a repeat. But for one morning...

Sunday Sep 13, 2015 #

Running 1:10:47 [3] 6.6 mi (10:43 / mi)
ahr:130 max:145 slept:7.5 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann-Rice long zoo. Glorious, cool morning. I was almost a little chilled during the warm up walk. The running was super steady and easy. Man, conditions make a huge difference.

Saturday Sep 12, 2015 #

Running 59:34 [3] 5.6 mi (10:38 / mi)
ahr:132 max:145 slept:6.5 shoes: PureConnect3

Hermann + Braes long. Nice morning. A real cool front moved through overnight & while the air wasn't as dry as it will be the next couple of mornings, the heat index was only in the upper 70s. Crappy night's sleep notwithstanding, a pretty decent run.

Friday Sep 11, 2015 #

Note
(rest day)

Wicked thunder and lightning scratched this one. Cooler weather forecast for the weekend, so I'm happy to wait a day...

Thursday Sep 10, 2015 #

Running 55:13 [3] 5.2 mi (10:37 / mi)
ahr:132 max:146 slept:7.5 weight:157lbs shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann + Braes. A second decent night's sleep in a row makes a difference. Felt really solid despite warm, muggy conditions.

Wednesday Sep 9, 2015 #

Running 59:01 [3] 5.2 mi (11:21 / mi)
ahr:134 max:150 slept:7.5 shoes: PureConnect3

Hermann + Braes. The conditions were not quite as nasty as Monday morning - it would be hard for them to be worse. The first half found the HR consistently 3-5 beats over MAF, while the second half was mostly a few beats under MAF. Felt pretty good overall.

Tuesday Sep 8, 2015 #

Note
(rest day)

Planned rest. Just as well - horrible insomnia last night. Ugh, not sure what's going on with the sleep issues.

Monday Sep 7, 2015 #

Running 57:45 [3] 5.1 mi (11:19 / mi)
ahr:136 max:152 slept:7.5 shoes: PureFlow4

Hermann + Braes. Other than one out-of-the-blue HR spike at about the 3.5 mile mark, this one was solid. Just as nasty a morning as possible weather-wise. It's one thing in early August, but this crap gets harder to accept in September.

Sunday Sep 6, 2015 #

Running 1:08:08 [3] 5.8 mi (11:45 / mi)
ahr:135 max:151 slept:7.5 shoes: PureConnect3

Hermann-Rice short. Took a few minutes to settle in, and the first couple of miles were around 5-7 beats over MAF, but eventually everything came around just fine. Super nasty muggy ass morning, so I don't feel bad about the overall pace. 100% better than yesterday from a consistency standpoint too.

Saturday Sep 5, 2015 #

Running 1:09:03 [3] 5.8 mi (11:54 / mi)
ahr:138 max:168 slept:7.0 shoes: PureFlow4

Hermann-Rice short. WTF. Started out feeling very good & fell into MAF normally. Not quite a mile in, I got a bit lightheaded & the HR steadily zipped up about 30 friggin beats over MAF. Walked for a moment, then tried to run through it, but it wouldn't drop below the low-150s. So the next couple of miles were a mix of walking and jogging. When I'd hit 147 or so, I'd walk. But, oddly, by the back side of Rice, I was able to maintain about 10 beats over MAF without walking. Then by the park I was steadily in the 137-142 range at a good jog. Anxiety? No clue. Give the same route a try tomorrow. Moreover, with all the walking, I'm surprised this ended up sub-12. Weird stuff.

Friday Sep 4, 2015 #

Running 56:50 [3] 5.2 mi (10:56 / mi)
ahr:132 max:144 slept:6.5 shoes: PureConnect3

Hermann + Braes. Muggy ass morning & some insomnia led to the assumption that this one would be tough. But it wasn't. Pretty consistent overall & the pace wasn't bad given how nasty it was this morning.

Thursday Sep 3, 2015 #

Running 1:01:56 [3] 5.2 mi (11:55 / mi)
ahr:133 max:145 slept:7.5 weight:158lbs shoes: PureFlow4

Hermann + Braes. Muggy conditions. Another run where the HR bopped over MAF really early. Slowed way down & even walked a bit. But then decided to fuck it and let it go wherever it was going to go. Of course, after that it quickly dropped back into MAF, where it stayed the rest of the run. Not sure what it's about, but it appears to be in my head... Whatever. Most of the run was perfectly fine, and the pace probably ticked up a bit as it went on.

Tuesday Sep 1, 2015 #

Running 54:32 [3] 4.5 mi (12:07 / mi)
ahr:130 max:148 slept:7.5 shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hotel treadmill. Not terribly accurate recounting of the time. Getting going on the treadmill was a sort of stop & go affair. It automatically picked up the HR monitor & displayed HR, but it jumped around a lot & interfered with the reading on the watch. After a few moments, I figured out how to turn that function off & the watch started working accurately. Then it took awhile to figure out the right speed for a MAF workout - once I did, it turned out to be an 11:30 pace on the treadmill. Not sure how accurate that was, but whatever. Better than nothing.
