AM/Lunch: 15.5 miles, averaged 7:20 w/ 6 x 1 mile (~1:45 recovery jog)

Jogged to the tempo loop. Construction everywhere. All I can say is I hope they are making it pretty because that loop is magical and I have work to do in the next 3 weeks.

Jogged some more trying to figure out what to do. Try to find another loop I marked out. Couldn't find it. Saw a track at a school but it was funny looking and the fence looked high and not inviting. I saw a U-shaped residential area road and just ran it blind. The makeshift loop worked nicely even though it wasn't quite a mile (~.8). Ended up with a very sufficient warm up of 5.4 miles.

5:51, 5:51, 5:48, 5:53, 5:53, 5:55 (~5:52 average), split slightly long on a few but close enough.

3.1 cool down. Took down a low hanging fruit Strava course record. It's not an easy hill.

PM:Likely off. Not sure I will fit anything more in today, which is fine.

Feel like I'm back on track. Just hope this construction business doesn't last too long. I can wait until next week, but no longer!
