No watch today but still kept a pretty good pace.

Saw a very long slug, that was the extent of excitement on my run.

40 minutes on stationary bike, easy effort

Took a page out of Chad Robinson's book and went for a late night run.

Since I don't trust drivers to see me at night, I went to the Cottonwood High track and did a 5 mile tempo.

Warmed up with 5 laps, 2K at about 7:00 min pace.

Went straight into 20 lap tempo, 8K.

1600 meter splits were:

1- 6:06

2- 6:00

3- 5:51

4- 5:41

5- 5:37

Total time 29:15, 5:51 average

It was dark so I didn't know my pace as I ran, I just hit the lap button every 400 meters. Run was more of a progression than I had guessed.

Cooled down with another 5 laps and added 70 meters just to make it 7.5 miles for the night.

Very enjoyable lunchtime miles today.

Didn't push the pace, just shuffled along to the timeless classics of Alanis Morissette.

Ran after a late lunch, felt pretty decent today but not as cool outside as I prefer. Petty complaint I know. 6:25 average

I came across a passage last night that I enjoyed.

Life, at all times full of pain, is more painful in our time than in the two centuries that preceded it. The attempt to escape from pain drives men to trivialty, to self-deception, to the invention of vast collective myths. But these momentary alleviations do but increase the sources of suffering in the long run.

Got an early start today.

Did 5.1 miles just under 7 min pace.

Finished with a course just under 2.4 miles (12:50) back home. This is a good course with a solid hill about halfway through and a downhill finish. The net uphill and downhill nullify each other. I'm going to run this hard every couple of weeks to track progress.

My little bro is in town and did a crossfit workout with me after the run. Lots of squats and some hard bike intervals.
