Wed August 17

<p>The 4am wake up must be cosmic.  DD woke up complaining about something and hence I was up.  So, too tired/lazy to get out early.  May do a tempo run on the TM later but I have track tonight if DW gets back from CrossFit in time.  May do both because I'm stupid (ref mad cow disease).  Have to see what the day brings.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Work is still in the crapper and I may start doing a lot of travel, which will royally screw up my training.  Same thing happened in 2008 - I went from 60 mpw to struggling to get in 40mpw.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - nice job mixing and toasting.  I wouldn't worry about those 800s.  It's more likely that you are on the verge of over training and need some rest.</p>
<p><strong>Chances</strong> - Was it a golden egg?  Recovered from the tri get?</p>
<p><strong>Dan</strong> - making progress?</p>
<p><strong>zrun</strong> - Nice job on the trails.  Note that I often round to the nearest integer to avoid the OCD wrath of Chances.</p>

<p><strong>4boysmom</strong> - Nice pictures.  You look too happy at the finish line.  Also, your son has a nice T2 dismount and untanned feet.</p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - good news that you could get out and run.  Perhaps you can get a sponsorship deal with CEP or 2XU?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, I decided to hit the work gym for the treadmill love.  Ended with 8 miles: 2 easy, 4 @ HM pace, 2 easy.  I forgot to offset for the jog at the start so hit the 1 hour limit at 7:97 miles... ahhh.  I guess that counts as a tempo run.  Probably need to run faster than 9mpm as it was more comfortable than comfortably hard.  I think I may have turned a corner on my fitness.  Probably skip track else my calves will explode on the 4th 400.</p>
