Comments: Not sure what the specific cause was, but today's run sucked pretty damn hard. It was a slog from start to finish and I felt wiped out by the halfway point.

My pace was abysmal to start and slowed precipitously on the last two miles. Cadence was a similar mess. But my heart rate, which I expected to be pegged to the maximum was pretty good. Half of the run in Zone 4 and half in Zone 3. None in Zone 5. Whatever.

Comments: Skipped the long run over the weekend again. At some point I have got to get those back into the mix. For now, I'm still on my mileage target without them but that's not optimum for conditioning.

As a result, I probably ran this one a bit on the quick side. But the temperature was good and humidity ideal. So might as well. My heart rate was right where I would want it for this kind of effort. That's not likely to be the case if I keep pushing it like this, though.
