Easy with 2 strides, the 2nd stride was more like a quarter mile push. Still a little sick and also didn't get out until 9 so I felt drained today- calf was complaining just a little so I decided to cut it short. It felt fine on the strides.

It's weird that I think a 9pm run is too late nowadays, having a kid really changes your life. I'm also a lot faster as a dad than I was as a childless adult.
