TE 3.6/ .42
5 caffeinated "uneasy" miles
Loop around Owasso w/ 1 mile add-on
Drank 3 liters of tea all day! Too much caffeine, heartrate was really high, couldn't keep pace down. Really focusing on the arms staying close to the body and a driving force for legs and balance. Symmetry keeps from a waste of energy. Having a harder time trying to breathe through the nose lately. Maybe with less caffeine it can become more of a possibility. Gonna ween myself of the stuff, see what a difference it makes.
Taking the mileage down a bit for recovery and building again is a good idea. Adding a bit here and there were energy and muscles allow. It would be nice to get 100 miles a week and easily before I start adding hills.

Exhausted
TE 2.6/ .45
5 miles easy
Loop to Alton Baker and back.
Camping this weekend feels like I went back a step. Frustrated because I forgot so many things and puking the first night didn't help. Think it was the combination of "extract" and way too much wine. The next day I wasn't so much as hungover as I was emptied out. The rest of the weekend was just wierd.
I have been tired all day. The 2 liters of tea I had didn't move me a bit, a sure sign of exhaustion. A couple easy days and some sleep will get me back to new and preparing to run many many miles.

Hammies
TE 2.8/ 2.00
14 miles easy
Fern Ridge Bike Path via Polk and the bike path.
Legs felt okay starting out. Soon enough they started to feel overall tired. Not like a muscle soreness but, achy. I kept wondering if it was from doing the weights lately with all the Core stuff or starting to use the foam roller. So, after the run I stretched and did no rolling or weights. Leaving for camping tomorrow so I'll do a solid run, weight, core, stretch thing. I like doing the strength stuff after longer runs. However, might have to tone it down a bit considering recovery.
