5 miles in 38:18, 7:39/mi, HR 169. Sunny and hot (80F). Extra sleep really helped recharge my batteries. Even in the heat, the pace felt decent until late in the run after all the accelerations. 12 accelerations, 6 uphill, 3 flat, and 3 downhill. Passed another runner on the road whom I didn't recognize....he was moving pretty fast on the downhill as I was headed uphill....wonder if he's just visiting the area or if there's a new resident in the area.
Followed up with the core workout I was supposed to do Thursday, then some stretching. Also, added warmup Lunges to the routine.
