BPP Week 4 Days 1 & 2
1000m warm up
6000m steady
10 min rest and stretching
3 x 1000m w/3 min rest

1st day back after a week off for oral surgery, and sutures finally out.

BPP W3D3 6000m and overall felt good, but hard time keeping rate down at desired 18.

12 days to get my remaining holiday challenge meters in before the next round of oral surgery... /sigh
