Easy 6+ on the mill at work despite distinct sleep deprivation (awake at noon, never went back to sleep). Part of what kept me awake was a weird sharp twinge behind my left knee, felt like more in the skin than anything else but there's no bite or pimple or anything. Still a little tender but did not bother me when running. What did bother me when I started was the left Achilles which was quite painful for the first 3-4 minutes before it loosened up. I was able to crank it up to MP+ for the last 10 minutes before a 6-minute jog out.

Cooked up my training plan for Frankfurt tonight. Pfitz based with some Hudson and Anderson mixed in. Pfitz got me my BQ; time to try it again, I guess.

I just had to comment because your name "spiderpig" is amazing.
