Recovery run + 10 x 100 m strides.

4:49 am, 46° F, 42% humidity, wind 9 SSE.

I was only supposed to do 6 strides, but I neglected to check on what my workout was before I headed out the door this morning, and I had it in my head that it was 10 strides for some reason. Also, I was only supposed to run 6 miles, but I ran too much before I got to the track, and so when I finished the strides, I was slightly over 6 miles and I still needed to get home. Thus, the 6.5 total miles. It would have come out about right if I had only done 6 strides. Oh well.

 Now it's rush rush rush to get all the kids off and get ready to go to the airport.

AP: 9:57.
Splits before the strides: 10:26, 10:21, 10:38, 10:13, 0.82 @ 9:59.

That's great when you go above and beyond your workout plans without realizing it! Good luck on your trip, and if you're late to the airport you can always run very speedily thru the terminals!
