5/31 - 4.0 (77 degrees)
6/1 - 4.0 (81 degrees)

These were both late afternoon, still not on the early morning schedule yet. Traveling Monday, so, aiming for Tuesday to be the start of the summer routine.

Still averaging 16-17 MPW. It's hot outside most mornings. Been doing a 7-8 miler every ~10 days (usually optimizing for weather).

No surprise that when I'm not crushing my training I'm less motivated to log my workouts. (Everything is logged in Strava/MMR anyway plus an Excel sheet whose plots I've posted previously).

Weight: 168-171 depending on the day

I have a number of 5K races from which to choose in August+September. All feature day-of registration, so I'm planning to pick one when it isn't 90 degrees outside and crush it (well, crush it on my terms).

Life is pretty good.

Sup H&F

Gonna try to do more miles to close out the year. Weekly miles have been weaksauce in recent months, and my BW has been creeping upward, but nothing too drastic. Moved to a new city, got a new job, spending lots of quality time with a wonderful woman, so, yea life has been good, and in that context moving from only 173 lbs to 179 lbs isn't too bad, but, no more excuses.

Here's a plot of my 2019 miles (basically a rolling 14 day sum, divided by 2 to scale to the familiar weekly mileage).




Past few years (except 2017 - the first year of this log) I've always slacked off a bit once the summer hit; 2019 was no different; here's a plot of my weight for 2016-2019:

11/26 - 5.0 miles (incl hils)
11/27 - 3 mile easy run
11/28 - 5k Race (7:51 pace, too many walkers to weave through)
11/29 - lol, leg has been aching, so going to use today as an excuse for a “rest day”

ooof, past two weeks I've been borderline sedentary

just re-read this, laughed. Not going be comfortable doing a real race until 2H2021 probably. Still want to keep goals though, going to try a fast 5K at the end of May (just an old HS cross country course, I'll have a friend time me).
