Resting HR 58. Sleep 8h 47m. Deep 55m. Light 5h 39m. REM 2h 13m. Awake 6m. Body battery 90/39.

I woke up at 1:30 and remembered I hadn’t taken my sleep aids. Took 2 and went back to sleep. Woke up again at 5:53 and thought I was going to make up for the sunrise, I didn’t. I went back to sleep and didn’t get up until 6:30. Everyday we get up later and make more coffee.

News report for NMB says mandatory masks when in public places. I’m not sure the status of MB.
It’s 9:30 and I’m beachin. Beached hard until 2:30.

3 Fun Miles

Relative effort 6. 3.25 mi. Time 30:02. Avg Pace 9:15 min/mi. Elev Gain 3 ft. Avg HR 135 bpm.

I woke up in time for the sunrise but somehow I missed it again. I'm a little sun-burnt and may not spend the time out today as yesterday.

Of note, as of 12:00 today NMB requires masks when inside. It will be interesting to see if there are any flare-ups with those unwilling to wear them.

Friday 3

Resting HR 54. Sleep 8h 9m. Deep --. Light 5h 11m. REM 2h 58m. Awake 4m. Body battery 100/27.

It seems like MB is getting more and more sketchy. There was a family from Ohio on the beach beside us and the dad was an ass. The guy was such a downer I felt my mood change. Last night our neighbors woke us up fighting in the hall. Maybe it is the COVID affect.

Shakeout Run

2.62 mi. Time 24:01. Avg Pace 9:10 min/mi. Elev Gain 30 ft. Avg HR 145 bpm. No calf issues. 
Today's adventure included a flat tire, a AAA call, and a trip to NTB for tire repair.

Saturday 4

Resting HR 54. Sleep 7h 43m. Deep --. Light 5h 59m. REM 1h 44m. Awake 9m. Body battery 87/29.
It may have been pre-race jitters or just normal hotel stress but I had sleep issues.

Another DNF. My pre-run was good, but the warm up was rushed. The race organizers did a great job, the only issue was they started the race a bit early. I ran mile 1 in 6:58. It was going to be hard, but I think I was going below 22:00 and definitely winning my age group. My left calf cramped up at 1:25 then as I was stepping off the course, my lower back spasmed. My left calf got sore one other day this week, but I can't remember when. 

What’s wrong with me? I feel like a wasted an entire week on the race and maybe next week too.

Gym Workout: 4 sets each of shoulder combo and straight-arm pulldown

Beachin at Surfside trying not to be disappointed in yet another running injury. We got set up a little after 11. It’s really hot. We made it to 2:30.
