The Week That Was
Wednesday: approx. 4.0 mile threshold run
Saturday: 1.0hr. treadmill run (zone 2/3)
Sunday: 1.25hr. treadmill run (zone 2)
I am fat, slow, and not adapted to local heat and humidity. Presumably, over time training will significantly change all that.
Zone 3 running Saturday afternoon left me slammed that evening. Zone 2 running on Sunday was not effortful. Useful indicators of the state of my base conditioning.
Threshold running on the asphalt and concrete did give me a touch of inflammation that quickly dissipated. I'm thinking I should add a couple of early morning half hour asphalt runs to build soft tissues, and drop my run with our Wednesday Night Run Club down to an aerobic level of pounding.

I think you may have overstated weight & speed issues!
I am laughing at this one, I've been feeling pretty much this way too!
HEY! I am going to steel myself and we will get up very early in the AM during the week of the 22nd and run on asphalt, eh?!?
Welcome back to training!!
An aerobic level of pounding - I am very familar with that concept.
I have to say that I am cherishing our cold spell here because it is keeping that humidity away! There is no shade around here at all, so it will be brutal once it gets hot!
