Notes

What a shitty run. Tried to do the 60 steady. Originally wanted to do 3x(burdett-hoosick-southlake-tibbits) loop, started off fine, under 6:15 pace for Burdett, but turned onto Hoosick and sidewalks are terrible... between those and the hills, slogged though that portion apparently at 8min pace. South Lake sidewalks were ishy too, but after the Tibbits hill I could get moving a bit again... except then I started playing the dodge traffic because there are no sidewalks game. The loop came out to under 6:40 pace but that's a far cry from the 6 I wanted.

SO, that loop was out.

Then, didn't really have a plan anymore, just went up pinewoods and back, but more of the same bs... terrible sidewalks, or dodging cars in the dark. Rational Paul knows that this was still a hard effort and ok considering, but impatient Paul wants to try again tomorrow (but I won't). Better be able to find some clear roads in Brookfield.

Also it's just been one of those wonky weeks so doubles have been on the back burner, but I'll get back into it right away.

Your doing LD training?

Yeah I'm thinking I'll give it a try. 3k is going to be my focus and I'm leaning more on the 5k side than the mile side. Want to be holding 90+... Once I get my act together again
