leaning towards bailing on the half next week. i just don't feel like i'm going to be up for it, and it's a long time to be away (prob five hours door-to-door) in the morning, when the baby is most active and hungry. not 100% writing it off yet.

i think that'd be pretty reasonable. doing a half when you're exhausted and haven't been able to do (m)any specific longer workouts runs sounds like a recipe for being annoyed about performance and/or getting a little injured (at least imagining myself in this situation).

on the other hand, doing races is always cool and fun.

yeah exactly. races are cool and fun but also hard and a little risky and i'm clearly not 100%.

- run 57:53, 10.45 km
jesus god it's still so hot and humid. T+DI 155. obviously this was a down week, only 51 km/4:31 of running.

so if i'm not going to run the half next weekend, then i think what makes sense is to just swing back into SubT. one tweak i've been considering is shifting the 3x10 (or equivalent) to the middle of the long run on sundays. that would increase one-day workload for that day just a bit, but it'd free up mondays to prioritize weights while preserving rest days on either side of each workout. running seven days a week feels good but i do think it's a bad idea long-term to be doing no weightlifting at all and it's just really hard to make time for both on the same day.

alternatively, i could just try to keep lifting sessions very short, like 20-30 minutes tops, and do a couple a week. something like 2 x 10 RDLs, 2 x 10 calf raises, and a core/upper circuit. it really does feel good to run every day.
