Solo run at OC; did see Jax taking Jake for a run! 53 with 15-25 mph NW wind during hard workout portion; but the worst was a railroad grass fire in town that had smoke blowing directly over my 1K repeat course for the first three reps...literally running through haze.
Ended up being a progression 6 x 1K session due to major difficulty in breathing. 3:44 to 3:42 for #1 to #3; 3:39 to 3:34 for last three. Wasn't really motivated in any way and not taking a day off has me on tired legs. Thus to get what I did out of my old body in these circumstances is satisfying.
I deviated from the McMillan plan due to already being in a repeat mode from my not-to-be-ran Houston training and tentative plans to race over next couple of weeks. Air quality may lead me to avoid the 5K because I am struggling at that pace...but it is basically in my neighborhood at OC; the 8K in a few weeks might be a better race for me right now but every day is iffy when you have asthma and allergies!
