I'd like to have a normal week

RUN 3.5 ish miles as 2x: 3 laps, 2 laps, 1 lap (100m walk) with LA

We drove back from Illinois yesterday, I was worn out from stress and non-functioning last night. So I really needed this run to clear the carbon off, so to speak.

It felt great for me! LA was hurting so he didn't run much.
My laps as Distance -- 1st/2nd times -- paces
0.75 -- 7:02/6:34  -- ~8 m/m
0.5 --  4:23/4:25  -- ~7.5 m/m
0.25 --  2:06/2:02 -- ~7.3 m/m

The second half mile felt really slow but the times show similar. I think I had bad bath going. The first 0.75  interval I expected 5 minutes and saw 7, and got to wondering if I'd missed hitting the lap button! Nope! Bad maths.

The stated goal, from the BRR speedwork sheet, said steady paces throughout. All laps steady, no fall-off of speed from starting to fast, for example. Nailed it, but the 0.75 mile 3rd lap showed some slowing. Understandable, I've been off doing this for so long!

This felt really good, and I'm happy to report no pain after.

I'm anxious to start some sort of strength training, I keep saying that, but I don't do it, but I'm anxious to do so. Just do SOMETHING. I feel so weak and heavy and sluggy.

I'd like to get a bike ride today (it's wednesday as I type this) but we'll see. LOTS to do with LA and his prep to leave. Speaking of which, he's on his way to pick me up so I gets to leave here :)
