week of 31 July

 Combination of calf strain, rain, and work motivated me to not run Monday or Tuesday and then take it easy wed and thu.

• Mon. Rest
• Tue. Rest
• Wed.  gc 5.  4.74@11:54/131.  Recovery.  Garmin decide my 4.79 is now 4.74.
• Thu. gc 5.  4.75@12:14/126.  
• Fri. gcc 7.  7.00@11:22/136.  7 1-minute "surges" up random hills.  High HR at end was ~160.  Thresholdish at most.
• Sat. Burke lake 1 lap.  11:16/138.  Pretty warm and humid.  Planned 2 laps but just didn't have it.
• Sun. gc 8.  7.85@11:12/140.  70 deg 100% humidity. Terrible adidas shorts and cotton shirt.  Like I jumped in a lake.  Felt pretty good.  Weight before and after.  Lost 4 pounds.

Miles: 28.9.  5h35m.  3658 calories

Weight: 188.7 (n=5).

Travel and calf strain impacting mileage.  36, 35, 33, 27, 38, 29 recent weeks. avg 33.

Seem to be solidly under 190 now.  Every weigh in this week under 190.

Paces have picked up.  Seem to have hit an inflection point where I've gone from shuffling to very slow jogging, so efficiency is probably a bit better.

Garmin's race predictor starting to move again after stagnating.  Says under 5 hrs for marathon for first time. That would put be roughly 3000 out of 3200 at Munich. LOL.
