Lunch/PM: 13 miles, averaged 7:53. HR 156.

Aerobic Builder (6 Miles)

30' up/30' down. Workout was 40', but I was close to 6 miles, so I just finished up. Barely managed sub-7, but had a good progression with the last two miles in 6:36 and 6:27.

Splits: 7:16, 7:15, 7:04, 6:53, 6:36, 6:27

Low 7s are definitely between high moderate and marathon effort. Lots of work to do.

AM/Lunch: 8 miles, averaged 8:00. HR 155.

PM: 2 miles on the treadmill to warm up for weights. HR 143.

Did various back, shoulder, bicep, and tricep machines 

I was drawn for the Beach to Beacon lottery. I have missed the last two years, so I'm happy to go back. I managed to stay up the Thursday night before I needed to sign up and had a few beers. I forgot to set my alarm and didn't realize until lunch time I goofed. I'd like to run a substantial PR, but I'd be happy just being a heck lot fitter than I am.

Mixed Effort Minutes Workout

30' up/22' down. 8' @ HME, 5' jog, 10 x 2' on/off

First 3 reps at 10k effort, last 7 @ 5k. My watch put cool downs after every recovery, which is pretty dumb for a smart watch. So I did 11 reps. The second one was a bit over 2 minutes and I spend a couple minutes more jogging to figure out the issue. I ended up lapping the cool downs, which only added 1-2 seconds of recovery. I felt strong at the end. Got some decent mileage for the day.

Lunch: 8.4 miles, averaged 7:41. HR 157. 

Kept the pace fairly steady easy to moderate. 

PM: 15' on the StairMaster to warm up for weights.

Did captain's chair, biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, some deep core. Most of the soreness from Tuesday is finally gone.
