Lunch- First speedwork of any sort since June, other than some hard trail runs.  And my legs were appropriately sluggish.  5 mile warmup, then just under 4 miles hard.  We did loops around a .86 mile lake- first loop was 4:45 (5:31 pace), then next 2 were 10:21 (6:01 pace), and last one was 5:27 (6:20 pace).  Yeah, definitely started out WAY too fast and died.  Definitely not in 5k, 1/2 marathon, or marathon road race shape.  I just was notified I made it into the Shut In Ridge Run (I was number 57 on a wait list with only 200 runners in the race).  It's a 20+ year old trail race in Asheville, NC, 18 miles long with 5000 ft climbing, so you know it has to be good.  11 miles total in 74 min.

Lunch- 7 easy.  Feeling kind of beat up and sore in a number of places (achilles, hip, knee, etc).

PM- Work has been super stressful with long hours (yeah, yeah, rub it in, Cody), so missed the lunch run.  Snuck in 4 miles after work before heading home, primarily to blow some steam.  I have no idea how I am going to run high mileage with this job.  And achilles is very worrisome.  Still.
