Comments: Another lunch run. With this effort I've put in six runs in the last seven days. As encouraging as that may be in terms of routine, it's concerning in terms of overdoing it. But my legs seem to be holding up well.

This one started pretty well, I deliberately didn't have any goals or targets setting out. I rode the downhill of the first mile and just tried to keep it steady. But my pace deteriorated significantly every mile.

Still, I finished with a sub-10 min/mi pace which is far better than I would have expected a week ago.

Comments: Despite the violent overnight storms, conditions were pretty nice again today. A shade warmer than cool but the lower humidity making it much less uncomfortable.

Since I pushed the pace a bit hard yeserday, I made an effort to rein it in somewhat on this effort. The first two miles - pretty much the entirety of the downhill - were overfast but the last two were about what I was looking for.

Worked hard through the hills but they weren't the awful struggle like they have been. Still a ways to go for them to get back to "manageable."

Comments: Little later start than I would have liked so the temperatures were a touch on the warm side. Still, pretty much ideal in comparison with the summer runs.

Really focused on cadence for this effort. Just getting short quick steps and  keeping consistent as far as possible. As usual, this kind of fell apart on the last mile with the hills but the whallop was less bad than normal.

Final result was on par with the last run so at least I'm not getting any worse.
