Found my current upper limit

RUN Treadmill 6.2 miles, ran 5 miles of that
STRENGTH 20x 1-minute intervals, upper body, increased weights
NO COMMUTE! More over night snow

I'm back to my habit of early morning, happily! And it's working even though LA is not going into work early. That's what started this habit - I was getting up early with him. 

My goal this week is 15 total miles of run/walk, with 10-12 miles running. After last Saturday's left ankle injury I was hesitant to put a longer run this early in the week, but after realizing that my weekend might be disrupted with travel my plan of a 3+5+4+1.... checking my file in the Drive...

Ooh last week was supposed to be a 15 total miles, but I only reached 12.5. So hmmm.... how do I alter this week for that, cuz now this week was gonna be 18 miles....and I rest next week.... thinking. 

Let's do this: 6 today, 5 Thursday, and 5 Saturday for a total of 16 miles. And run 5+4+4 for a total of 13 running miles. See how it goes. If Saturday feels great, walk another 2 miles to get to 18. That seems like a good plan, since I only ran 11 miles last week. 

Today felt great, I did the first interval as 2 miles, varying the speed from 5.0 to 6.0. The next 3 miles were 1 mile intervals. I really felt the fatigue in the last half mile of the last interval. And a sharp niggle appeared in the left foot. So I slowed wayyyyy down to 4.0 speed. Couldn't bring myself to walk the last 0.2 miles of the interval??!!

So 6 miles is my current "long run". 

The right ankle felt OK, a bit stiff the rest of the day. I'm still noticing that my right and left legs feel different on the treadmill, but I can't pinpoint how or why. Sometimes the left leg feels heavier.
