Fat Thor was only allowed to frolic for two days, back at it this morning with a speed work 5K+ treadmill run...main set 4 x 1' @ R pace which I've dropped a few seconds to about 7:10/mile or so.  Going to train a little harder on the quality run days and see how that goes, going with Daniels' VDOT 39 pacing.  Then we did our strength work and planks.  All-in over 90 minutes.

Not sure if I mentioned this but our daughter moved back home (as all 20-somethings do now apparently...I wouldn't have moved back in if I were homeless LOL) and she's doing a 9/80 work schedule and trying to avoid traffic so the household is rustling at 5 AM now - getting into Gretchen territory around here.  It's summer and getting light out by 5:30 so it works for now, but it's hard to get to sleep that early.

I almost spit my tea out at this

While I'd usually agree, I'm still a little guarded letting it loose running downhill...something I just need to work through mentally.  Maybe I should try the downhill feature on my treadmill as it goes down to -5%.

I actually find downhills a bit harder on the knees/quads as it feels more impactful on them. Might be my trail running mindset where I'm super cautious going down so I don't wreck something.

They are harder on the knees if you try to brake. If you let go and land under yourself (if you see what I mean) it's a a lot of fun (a little scary, I'll admit)

That said, on trails I am very cautious too, even uphill.

welcome back Mike, we can't have fat Thor overstaying his welcome.

My son is also back, although only for 6 weeks until he moves out for good and starts his new job in the Swedish army.

He actually said to me when I said he was always welcome back (temporarily) if it didn't work out that he would rather sleep on the street than move back in.

He is not up early but bakes in the middle of the night and we get awaken by nice smells (at 2am)
