Megan and I got back from Toledo. We had a short visit last night and today. We went out with a bunch of her friends last night and stayed at her uncle's. I managed to drink four martinis. Good thing I didn't really plan on a long run. Ran a few miles when we got home in the evening.

AM: 9.25 miles. HR 147. Did some strides.

Absolutely gorgeous morning. Cool and sunny. First real-deal AM run in a while. The PF in  my foot has gotten worse. It's been tight for some time. I have been rolling it with a golf ball. Just need to do it more. I'm standing a lot more at work and I think that's the culprit.

PM: 5 miles. HR 140.

First few with Megan. Legs were not working the first several miles. Not like that weren't fast, but that my muscles were not firing. I assume it's from standing. It seems to happen since I became a retired academic.

Lunch: 10 miles. HR 161. Blown Workout.

Far too many beers and a little warm. Usually neither are much of a problem, but I struggled. Plan was an 8-mile tempo, which is always a good workout for me. Could barely manage 7-minute pace.

PM: 4 miles. HR 133.
