6 miles... why the hell not?

 When I went to bed last night I didn't think I'd be running 6 miles this morning but when I woke up, that's what the Garmin training algorithm had come up with (or rather 54 minutes at 9:20 pace was the suggestion).  

I was surprised because this is the longest run it had suggested so far (previous was 52 minutes at 9:20 pace from Saturday) and I didn't expect it to come up with the longest run on my 4th day of training in a row...  not that I'm complaining.

Wound up running 6.10 miles in 54 minutes at 8:51 pace with an average HR of 144.  Not as good as my average of 139 yesterday but its hot out and my HR inevitably continues to creep up over time.  

Halfway through July and I'm sitting at 55.48 miles which is the most miles I've run in a July since 2021.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to run 9:20 pace for 32 minutes and Thursday recovery run and Friday a workout?  I'd be shocked if that doesn't change but also not sure why it would... I guess we'll see.
