I have slept poorly the last few days and I know I'm taking tomorrow off, so I went 4 miles very slow, very easy. I still feel beat up, though.

It's been smoky and hot outside, so no running for now. Also, I want to catch up on the TdF and my rationale was validated as I was watching the riders going into the finish of stage 5. Just get through it!

It was cooler than I expected, but was getting this in before it gets beastly hot later this week. Standard distance, it's been a while. Today felt pretty good, though. I'm sure taking yesterday off and my inconsistent training has been a factor.

Very late start, but the watch was saying long run, so I ran about 6.1mi of LSD. Not bad, not fast, not optional as I have been getting a bit thicccccer lately.

My ankles were tweaking a bit so I decided to row while watching cycling. If I ever feel sorry for myself on the erg, the cycling takes care of it as I watch guys absolutely crushing the TdF.

I didn't think I was going to run today, but when I saw the temperature dip below 90, I figured I'd try 4 easy. This was prudent but I'm also trying to get heat acclimated, which is happening. Sort of.

I didn't do anything yesterday, and I won't run outside tomorrow given the weather forecast, so I was hoping to get something in today, but holy fucking shit is it hot already. The readings above are in the shade; in the sun was far, far worse. I knew it was going to be a bad day if I was at anaerobic threshold just WALKING.

At least it's done. I was thinking of going standard distance but as hot as it was, I turned back, wisely.
