Easy run + 4 x 100 meter strides. 6:04 am, 52° F, 34% humidity, wind 5 SSE. I did my old 4 mile route in reverse and with a little variation so that I would end up at the track, which also added some extra distance. I ran the strides on the track, but not being terrifically familiar with tracks and all the markings on them, I wasn't sure exactly which markings indicated 100 meters, so I actually just did the strides for 30 seconds each instead of by distance and now looking at the stats, I realize they were all about 135 meters. There was a woman with a dog on the track, possibly the same woman and dog I've seen on the track before, but I'm not sure. It's always been dark when I've been on the track before, but it was light this morning. She was kind of wandering around and picking up trash and letting the dog run free. The dog did not bother me at all. She was friendly and we spoke briefly. I have not been taking sufficient advantage of the opportunity I have to sleep in a little bit this week. That is, I've been offsetting it by staying up too late. Last night it was my own darn fault. I stayed up reading a book. But I finished the book, so now that monkey is off my back. But I may or may not be going up to Commerce City tonight to see a play at the high school where my husband teaches. If I do, then tonight will probably be another late night.
