Recovery run + core conditioning. 5:20 am, 27°F, 41% humidity, wind 3 S. I stayed up too late again last night. I've got to find a way to get to bed earlier. I'm sleepy right now. I ran my recovery run just slightly faster than I have been because I got a late start and I was worried about time. I had to get home to drive the boy to seminary. The increase in speed over that distance amount to a savings of not quite 2 minutes, but 2 minutes makes a difference in my busy morning schedule. I changed into the VFFs after 4 miles and ran the last 1.12 in them. I'm getting better at putting them on. I can do it a little quicker than I used to. I think I'll stick with the 1+ mile in them on Friday this week and then up the VFF mileage a little next week. I tried to think about the "running on water" or, as I like to think of it "skipping stones" cue. This is kind of a vague cue. I just think of it as quick turnover. Since this one is kind of strange, I also tried to focus a bit on doing navel to spine at the same time. AP: 9:59. Splits: 10:19, 10:09, 9:51, 9:53, 9:43, 0.12 @ 9:50.
