AM

6 am wake up. I work today but my kids are home so I had some morning flexibility for a nice easy run not too early. Went out on 600 W/700 W to 1300 S and back. It's a nicer run in the dark but still not a nice run. I am also glad I couldn't see the icky sky.

Hold on to your hats for this pace. 8:29 - 8 in 1:07:48. Nice unintentional day off yesterday. Other than taking my boy to cc ski lessons, I stayed home and did nothing. I even watched NFL football for the first time in ages, family be darned. "Daddy - I wanna watch Doya." "Go play." I used to think I liked the 49ers but I haven't truly cared for about 20 years. Charlie cried because SF lost because he is a proud SF native, though he could care less about football. Good day.

Lunch

6 more on the treadmill. The air is looking gross even up here. I have had some congestion for the past few days and I've been running outside constantly so perhaps a correlation.

Started at 8.5 mph and a 1 incline and moved up .1mph and .5 degress every half mile. So mile 2.5-3 was at 9 mph and 3.5 degress and HR got into low 140s. Then back down but with the speed going up. After 5 miles of that, 1 mile doing 6x80 steps at 5:00 pace with a brief rest at 9.5 mph.Nice workout without getting into the moderate range much. 39:20 total. Then some stretching and pt.

That was about my pace today.

I think it's a good idea to drop the mileage and intensity back a bit this week. Give yourself a chance to absorb the workload and get an honest assessment in the 5K this weekend.

That is precisely the plan. 60-65 with only one in week work out.

Great plan Josh E. make it happen sat.

Nice double. I feel bad for Charlie but I am glad the 49ers lost. Dora over the NFL? You might need to expose him to more football. I could be wrong but I feel like our generation had better cartoons. Thomas & Friends, Dora and Sponge Bob just don't measure up to Duck Tales, Dennis the Menace, Bobby's World and Transformers.

It's the two year old that wants Dora - she's all he ever wants - he even sleeps with a Dora pillow his size. I love your list of cartoons. They wouldn't be on my list and I'm not sure any of them rise to the level of classics (though I did think transformers were awesome back in the day). Charlie's a huge fan of Scooby Doo, Garfield and Justice League.
