6xcruise miles at Padden. Tempo effort w/ 1:00 rests.

5:17, 5:17, 5:19, 5:26, 5:20, 5:23

Started a little quick, fell asleep on #4 and felt increasingly more asthmatic from there. I haven't felt that way in a long time, but I developed cramps in my upper abdomen and found it difficult to draw breath. 

I knew I'd have to face the first workout at some point, but there's nothing more humbling than knowing exactly what kind of shape you're in when that shape isn't where you want it to be.

PM 1 - 8x300m hill sprints, starting in 65 and cutting to 59.

PM 2 - 4 miles easy. Got buzzed by some large winged creature on the way home, felt its wings graze my chest and saw a flash in the headlamp. 60 sec surge after that to get clear of the woods... The owls in there are ferocious sometimes.

Tempo work at Padden. 6xmile with 1:00 rests. I visited the chiro this morning and got things worked on. I had a water ski fall a few weeks ago that wrenched my back, and I noticed the last couple workouts that I wasn't breathing well and wondered if I was hunching over in response to a sore neck. Anyway, things felt much better today, and this workout was vastly improved over last week. I went 5:21, 5:22, 5:18, 5:17, 5:18, 5:10, opening up just a little on the last one since I was feeling good. 

I have noticed incredible soreness in my left hammy now that I'm done. I'm hoping I didn't tweak something on the run. Time will tell.
