to shrewsbury station for fenton gravois bus to park n ride, and then to trail at top of first steeo hill. And reverse it.

turtle trail mainly along the side of the lone elk acess road

Marathon pace (trail marathon that is) from first turn at bottom of big lone elk trail hill to west tyson trailhead and connector trail to water, then back on chubb via shortcut connector trail. Estimate 13+ miles.

hit pace right away, in spite of legs not feeling terribly strong, and more or less stayed with it. Sure helps to be on trail. Surge, recovery. Like cyclocross. That may be why 200's are appealing, with alternating types of effort, while steady state tempo on a track is not.

more garden stuff, and swung by grocery store while the sprinklers were on.

thanks to our early start, we've already taken collards, spinach, and loads of tender baby romaine and asian salad greens to the food pantries...

garden stuff, then nursing home, then errand

supposed to be 8 x 1200 @ 5:21 w/ 30 sec rest, a modest enough goal. But i was having a hard time meeting even that, even after i split the 8 reps into 2 sets. 517 (the only one on pace),524,529,531 5 min.break 529,528,529,531

Honestly, I am not feeling good about my training. Its not because I'm not fit i suppose, because earlier this spring i had a 4 min pr at castlwood cup. But a couple of viruses and a weird spring later, I feel sodden and unenthused - I am not meeting the times i should be, and I feel like i'm just going through the motions at this point.

Any suggestions out there?
