Weather was really nice, if a little warmer and more humid. 62F air / 62F dew point. No wind.

Felt really smooth. My calves started to complain in the middle of mile 6, but otherwise no distress.

8 very easy. I took the day off work for a certain GI procedure, and I took the post-procedure run this afternoon very gingerly.

Not the sharpest workout. Tired legs. But the work is done. I need to practice kicking, so I sprinted the last 200m of the final 800m. I clocked 34s for that 200m.... plenty of room for improvement there.
