Very slow and long 10.8’sh miles in very humid conditions. But! I might’ve found my new favorite road—winding, some fun hills, 1 1/2 lanes wide but paved. And of panoramic hilltop views before dipping down into shaded hollows.

Same long run as last week, slightly harder effort by HR though RPE was about the same. Shaved 7+ minutes off the loop, legs felt stronger overall, few more light jogs up slight inclines.

Long and slow to round out a 30 mile week. Largest volume in six months, but, *fingers crossed*, soon to be the normal volume again.
9.4 miles in 2:54 with about 2500’ gain. Lost 5-10 minutes trying to find the trail in a few spots. The GWNF doesn’t see the […]

A very hard 5.2 miles in 1:04. 40 minutes in Zone 4, which was the goal. They had to be broken up into a few intervals because of the weather.
- Saw an owl. A friend says it’s a bad omen. I see a few every year, so I must be doomed.
- Few deer
- Cold shower afterwards

Slow and easy 4.1 miles this morning in the #shenandoahvalley. Been watching this field mature. Think it might be wheat or rye.
Today’s the first day of the heat dome. Highs in the shade will be mid to upper-90s. Time to retreat into a cave

Woke up to a washed out road. Debris had blocked a culvert, water topped the road, and eroded it. Wife says it’s the universe telling us it’s time to get out.

Black tee. Black shorts. Black shoes. Grabbed a little color from the sock drawer.
1/4 finished with the 12-week program. Haven’t had any serious soreness, weights have increased, RPE has decreased. But, man am I looking forward to the upcoming drop week!

120 minutes, super slow long #run. Started damp and humid from last night’s rain, ended warm and dry. Pace about the same as last week, not bad since lifting bumped up to 90% 1RM.

![Highlighted text from a Wikipedie entry on Helena Rubinstein:
In 1973, the company Helena Rubinstein, Inc. was sold to Colgate-Palmolive. By the 1980's the brand had faded from the US market.[26] In 1984 it was acquired by L'Oréal.[27][28] The L'Oreal takeover was to cause a good deal of scandal as company founder, Eugène Schueller, had been an enthusiastic collaborator during the war, and in its aftermath, L'Oreal became notorious for employing ex-Nazis on the run. Jacques Corrèze, who engineered the takeover, was one of these: he had been active in expropriating Jewish property in Paris.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m3tm2lrvz74licnlerx62o7d/bafkreihvt2vvl6grtj6kmsihie2h4bq4m7snoxsrafe7j4cs4bcxcle2me@jpeg)

Feeling nostalgic for a previous life. My boss had a friend stencil the words on our oven. We baked that bread in it—4lb miche sourdough made with Carolina Ground’s high extract flour. Heather Heyer lost her life just a few blocks away the week before.
