First exercise in a week as I've been buried grading papers. My back hurts from not having done anything but squats and deadlifts are inducing sharp pain in the knees too, so that's not so awesome. What is awesome is the weather, though. I did notice some cramping in my calves on the way back, which is unusual.

Long slow run, fully aerobic, so I don't blow my hamstring, which has been giving me some trouble. Good opportunity to burn some lard, though. I needed to get it done.

Slow as my legs were tired and I waited too long to get going-- I started running at the peak heat of the day. On the other hand, it was still cooler than runs during the day and more importantly, today is my first day below 200lbs in months. Progress.

I figured I'd get in some strength work since it'd been a while and I slept in rather than exercising. I needed the sleep in a bad way but it was the prudent thing to do as I think I would've had a bad workout last night. Today's was much better, especially given the much nicer temperatures tonight. Going in was quite quick as it was cool, downhill, and I was well rested. Return was not bad but much more measured.

Not a completely easy run, but not a hard one after yesterday's long run. I was feeling a little bit of things being stretched out, and I felt better for maintaining my max VO2 level. For now.

Not a bad day for not really working out for more than a week. I wanted to get in a long run while the opportunity presented itself, and today was a good day. I set a new threshold pace (10:30/mi at 159bpm) and my max VO2 has finally come back to 40 for the first time in a while, which is encouraging. Whether I keep the momentum remains to be seen.

Strength work as my back was bothering me in a big way. I fear this will have to become the norm. At least I have a more consistent 2mi in, 2mi out route so I'm not getting chumped my lard burnage.
