AM - 5

AM2 - 15. after the first mile did some fartlek; for the next 8 weeks when i say that what i mean is throwing in some lighthearted strides anywhere from 50m to 150m long every minute or two. nothing too hard on the legs, just straddling the line of taking more out of my legs than running the mileage easy would've. got 5 miles in before i thought i might end up dipping into reserves by the end; hoping by the end of the base phase i can do the whole 15 without taking anything extra out of me. went by a lot faster than 15 usually does; i was just having a ton of fun out there. switching gears felt pretty natural by mile 6. 7:19 average, i've ran 15 miles 5 other times in the past 3 weeks and averaged about 8:15 pace so it's nice to see a jump that big, especially on 15 miles of wet grass in full humidity. great run!

PM - 5. legs felt good but fatigued, surprised the pace was under 7:30 for an easy jog, like i always say nothing gets me in shape like fartlek running. could have gone 10 for a 30-mile day, but i don't plan on doing any more than 25 a day next week so i had no urgence in doing so. also, ya know, 16-hour shift tomorrow. we just started a new schedule this week at work but after this one i'll probably go back to 12-hour shifts. i assumed because i could recover pretty well on those it'd carry over, but 16 hours is a long time on your feet.

I saw that your area is getting quite a heat wave. Good on ya for sticking to your running schedule!

Okay, it looks like it was closer to Texas-Oklahoma. I just remembered seeing a news headline warning about deadly heat conditions.

we're on the outskirts of it, which means it's either very hot or raining buckets. i'd honestly prefer being in the thick of the heat wave.
