8/2

Today was supposed to be a lactate-threshold run with 10 miles total and 6 at HMP, but because I'm modifying this week's training schedule, I wasn't coming off a rest day like the plan dictated. And I was tired, and it was hot out there. So I ran 2 warm-up miles (10:20, 10:16), and then just tried to pick up the pace to what felt comfortably hard. Ended up with those 6 miles at 9:26, 9:04, 9:04, 9:05, 9:06, and 8:49 (had to at least try to get closer to HMP on the last one!) Then ran 9:56 and 10:14 to cool down and did about 20 minutes of yoga once I got home. All in all a good run but I'm really looking forward to a rest day tomorrow before I gut out 20 on Friday night. Yikes...
