76F, 90%.  7 @ 7:55 AP.  I never had much of a chance for a run yesterday but it was probably good - it's been about a month since my last day off.  Next week is my supercompensation experiment: 10 days on, then 10 days "off."

So in the next 10 days I am targeting ~17 miles/day, then an equal and opposite down period which will start with 5 days completely off.  Ideally, I'd only take 1 or 2 days off and get in some light jogging after that but I'm not expecting that opportunity since it'll just be me and the kids in a hotel.

Let's see what happens - I'd give myself about a 50/50 shot at making it through what I've planned.

17/day? You can do it! I think it I more likely that you can't go 5 days without.
