PM: 9 miles in a little over 61 minutes. Averaged 6:49. Got out hot and kept pushing to squeeze in the miles. Pretty much aerobic threshold the whole way. A rare sub-7:30 first mile.

Had to work at 5:00AM. I didn't get to bed until after 1:30. Strange shifting hours. Had a decent nap though. I unloaded a truck of pressure treated lumber in the cool rain with the fork lift. A much different gig than teaching, but it's interesting.

AM/Lunch: 15 miles, averaged 7:22. HR 166.

3.5 up, then Did 60 minutes AT effort, 2 down. Might have been a little high on the effort today. Assuming my HR monitor was on I was 177 beats for 9.45 miles, which is pretty high but would be difficult to sustain solo and in a non-race situation for that length of time.

Cover 9.45 miles in the 60 minutes or 6:21 pace. Don't have exact splits because I didn't take them and I started on the half mile.

Strava splits with the absorbed half miles look like:

6:38, 6:23, 6:20, 6:14, 6:18, 6:21, 6:19. 6:19, 6:33

So pretty much held to the average pace throughout after the first 1.5-2 miles.

PM: 18 miles, averaged 7:25. Progression from 8:30 first mile to 6:30 last mile.

Day started at 4:00AM and it continues. Thankful to get a 2-hour nap in there to help make up for some lost sleep.
