Sun 12/17 - AM just under 80 minutes, WHS to RLTAC. Started too quickly, stuck in a too-fast for the time of the morning rut the rest of the way. Hip somewhat better than yesterday. Another abnormally warm day. PM 45 minutes, Conant Road to Silver Hill. The mild sore throat has set in, not at all surprisingly after being overextended lately. TFL and IT band twinging.
Sat 12/16 - AM 35 minutes very easy. Right hammie/TFL not feeling so hot after last night. Not a surprise. PM 40+ minutes again very easy. Very tired today, throat inflamed since yesterday, feeling vulnerable to sickness. Somehwat predictable after the past week's schedule.
Fri 12/15 - PM RLTAC 5x1600, 1R. All within two seconds of 5:20. More tedious than difficult. Legs got rubbery and the right TFL twinging after the third one, noticeably less recovered for the last one as the accumulated effort took its toll. Made it through the last one although I had earlier considered stopping after 4. Smooth and consistent, the slow pace continues to be annoying. Feeling spry after the unintended two day taper for this workout, although the length of it pounded the spry right out of my legs. Cooldown was a crawl as a result.
Thu 12/14 - PM 30 minutes in the Fens. Very easy and relaxed. All I had time for. A phrase that will be written over and over in the near future, It's that time of year.
Wed 12/13 - off. No time to run. Boo-fuckin-hoo.
Tue 12/12 - PM RLTAC 2(800 2.5R 800 3.5R 1600) 4.5R between sets. 800s in 2:30 with one at 2:32, 1600s in 5:09 and 5:05 (2:35/2:30). Under control, and slow. It's a bummer to be unfit. Legs stiff and clunky during the warmup, I didn't escape Sunday's effort entirely unscathed. A little more rest and less extraneous racing and hopefully things will come around in the next few weeks.

Mon 12/11 - PM 50 minutes easy in Wellesley incl. the Waban Arches. Kept it very easy, no time for more but I probably wouldn't have run much longer regardless. Looking like I dodged the bullet from yesterday's effort as legs aren't unduly sore.
