AM: a bit over 2 in the morning, rounding down. Slept through the alarm so it's all I had time for, I threw in some lighthearted fartlek running after the first mile, just around 100m or so of 5:40 pace every 400m or so. After I started that the easy running went down from 7:10 to 6:40 pace. Hopefully I'll get in a better run tonight and one tomorrow morning before the storm is supposed to hit. Since with school and work I'm very limited on time, I'm having trouble figuring out where to put the long run in, the only two options are the day before a workout, or Sunday, either before my 12 hour shift or after. If I were just doing 15-18 miles I'd be fine the day before a workout but I wanna try to get it up to 27, even if it takes a few weeks to get there, so I'm gonna try before, which means sleeping 3 hours, waking up, running 3 hours, and trying to get another hour of sleep before work if possible. Luckily I don't work this weekend so I can try it out without the actual shift after. Might not be wise to run 140 miles next week because this week's been lackluster so far mileage-wise, might just try for about 100 with workouts and add the other 40 the next week. Or maybe the ability to run so much is in my heart and not my legs. We'll see.

PM: a tad under 7 in the evening, adding up with the morning run to a tad over 9, rounding down again. Felt good, 6:50's and 7:00's felt easy. Legs were still a little achey from the time off, but nothing specific or painful. Excited for real training; can't wait to bring my manic approach for running lately to workouts.

SOTD: Combat - Danny Brown. His new album dropped today and I had the weird horn sample on the track stuck in my head the entire PM run
