Comments: Ran this one angry after my neighbor's yap dog kept me up all fucking night. Probably not the smartest move given the heat and humidity today. But this is gonna be par for the course in the mornings over the summer. So I might as well get used to it.

Ran the first part way too fast. Slowed down a little on the second half just from the slog. Heart rate was in Zone five almost half this effort. Not ideal. I'm expecting to be a little sore from this one as a result.

Comments: After multiple days off I finally got back out there for a run. Toward the end of last week, I was feeling really run down. That was very evident on my the run on Tuesday. I was feeling better toward the end of the week but just decided to give myself the extended rest anyway.

Now I would like to get a number of back-to-back runs in but with very easy efforts. Today was about idea for that. I started overslow, picked up the cadence in the middle but without pushing the effort. At the end, my heart rate was almost entirely in Zone 4 even with the warmer and more humid conditions.
