Felt kinda crummy. Worried I got the Rona from the guy in the bathroom who was sniffling and sighing before opening a briefcase and pulling out a bottle of pills.  Or maybe it's just not sleeping enough, work stress, and doing an ill-advised LT threshold test (which is pretty tame).  Didn't get the ego boost I was hoping for.  160/9:51 10 days earlier. Then 159/9:57 with considerably better weather.

RHR jumped up to 57 last night after drifting down to 49 over the week.

My watches opinion of me has leveled off and someone degraded.  Thinks I'm good for a 28:00 5k.

Thinking of doing some faster stuff, but shorter intervals.  I did 8x1' at ~7:45 w/ 2' rest and didn't seem to create much of a recovery debt.  Might do some of this sexy new short HIT stuff (30s-30s).  I know I just need to lose weight, but mixing it up might stave off boredom and maybe impress my watch.
