Between traveling, and coming down with some degree of something (probably thanks to the travel), I'm just trying to log workouts at approximate relative intensity rather than stressing about pace and heart rate.

Saturday (I know, last week, but I we're already on to this week ) was a check-up 5 miles (warm up, 1 mile flat, split HR/perceived exertion, repeat for 5, cool down) I did at 9 minute pace.

Yesterday was hill repeats. Warm up, 8x60s hard uphill w/jog downhill, cool down. Wasn't feeling 100% so what felt like 100% exertion wasn't 100% of normal heart rate. Got to run with my dog though. She loves hill repeats. We don't run in the sun (not that it's sunny or warm lately), we don't run hard for 5+ minutes at a time, we easy jog down the hill, it's on the side of a hill that deer and other creatures frequent so it smells great, and it's off the normal route. And, it's win-win, because it effectively works for 2 real days of dog exercise - she's still sleeping it off today.

Tomorrow - 5x800m flat but hard repeats with walk rest interval. Might have to split it up to exercise the dog, she can probably last 1-2 repeats but not 5.

I think this weekend will be a long run - 16 miles? We might be going snowboarding so I'll probably do my long run Saturday and some portion of my ride Sunday evening depending on how difficult the snow is.
