Comments:
Slept like shit again last night: up coughing, per usual. Woke up early, dicked around, then went to WinCo to get the week's food. Made the lunches, called PICO, then around 1045 we finally got out for the long run.

Went quite easy (7-7:10) to VRC, then picked it up a bit. Matt was feeling better than he had for quite a while, because we wound up cutting down to 6:30s for the last 3 miles, which should be his race pace, I think. Ran back to the house, where I deuced, had a s-cap, some Powerade, then went back out.

Did NOT feel energetic today, but once again, I was rolling 6:00s. Decided to do a few uptempo miles since I LITERALLY have done no hard work all week. Got after it on the bike trail and split an EFFORTLESS 5:32, rested over the DeFazio bridge, then did 2 miles back towards home. Did not look at the splits, so I was a bit bummed they were 5:44 and 5:39, though these miles were winding and hilly.

Overall the breathing felt mega-easy but I was tired, for sure. I gotta kick these allergies or it's gonna break me.

Did the whole run in the TRANditos to "condition" the legs for them.
