PM: 6.3 miles, averaged 8:16. HR 157.

Felt kind of rough and anxious. Ran a bit faster and my body wasn't having it. Too dehydrated from having too much fun in Kalamazoo last night.

PM: 30.5-mile ride. HR 146.

Got on the bike directly after my run. Didn't have a proper meal all day other than some snacks when I got home. Felt it on the ride, especially after running. Managed to have an okay time, even though it felt like the ground was pulling every ounce of energy from every pedal stroke. Looks like a good deal of rain this week and next week I will be away at my brother-in-law's bachelor party.

Night: AIS, PT, and light core.

Warmed up for workout, but I abandoned it. Did not feel great. A rough day. I was going to jog out some mileage, but just headed home. It's a very easy workout, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I will give it a shot tomorrow.

PM: 51.2-mile ride. HR 151.

Averaged 17MPH w/ 2000 feet of climbing. Not too bad.

+ 4 miles w/ Megan after I got home. Averaged 9:59. HR 155.

There was a break in the rain and I was grumpy this morning and didn't feel like running. I figured I would get a ride in and my mood brightened.

Roads were fast in places with only a few chunky sections. I did go on one road that wasn't much more than a camp road and it was muddy sand and rutted, so I had to do a little cyclocross maneuvering through there. I had a few granola bars this morning, but only electrolytes on the ride and I had a heavy protein bar and small bag of chips after. I went running with Megan once I got home. My legs were like lead and my HR was still up. Good run though.

Noon: 8.3 miles, averaged 10:13. HR 137.

PM: 4 miles on the treadmill.

Did some strides and then a re-introductory hill blast session. 4 x 8" Hill Blasts

Did captain's chair and pushups after.

My brother-in-law's bachelor party is this weekend, so I figured I would do these today and combine my long run and skipped Tuesday workout tomorrow before leaving. These have been on the schedule for weeks and I keep skipping them. I will be working back up to 8 x 8" and eventually 40-50m "slopes," or longer hill blasts with a slightly different purpose that I have now forgot.

No Thursday night ride this week. Heavy rain and potential for Thunderstorms. The way the season started out I thought we would be in the full swing of thing, but we have had a lot of rain.

Lunch/PM: 15 miles, averaged 8:59. HR 150.

Stridlek Workout: 3 (6 x 45” w/ Equal Jog Back). 5’ Jog Between Sets 

Did a long warmup to get miles in. Felt decent. Got moving toward the end. Hopefully the beginning of getting my speed back.

Drove to Port Clinton Ohio to take the ferry to Put-in-Bay for a bachelor party. It’s weirdly coastal without the ocean smell I’m used to.

Off.

Went out for my brother-in-law's bachelor party. We started in pretty early, so I took two naps throughout the day. Lots of flooding from Lake Erie.
