Odometer 1: 55mi

WX at 0700: 62/17, DP 62/17, BP 30.16/1021, winds NNE 5, RH 100% but it sure didn't feel like it today. Weather was just about perfect. It doesn't get much better than it did today.

Z1 throughout. I very nearly slept in. There were two factors at work in today's abbreviated run. The first was that most nights this week I was getting around 4-6 hours of sleep. Normally this is not a big deal. I routinely go off 5 hours without a hitch. I routinely don't go 7.2 miles for four days in a row getting that kind of rest, however. The other, of course, is mileage. I think I might've come close to overtraining and probably would have had I attempted to grind out a 7.2mi at what I thought should've been an appropriate pace.

The lesson here is to listen to your body. I have a heart monitor, but I need to get the batteries replaced in it before I can start using it again. That might not be a half-bad idea in the coming weeks.

Splits were slow as to be expected from a Z1 run.
