6:42 pace, east river road. Happy memorial day.

6:24 pace apparently? Seems very quick, but we were going fast. Took my family on both sides of river road (turned around at lake street) for a bike/stroller run. 

Felt slow and tired on Como Classic, 7:03 pace. Was very humid outside but only a little above 50 degrees so it wasn't too noticeable. 

Yesterday I was at a track meet, thinking how much I would love to race. But, fun things like that don't come for free. You have to put in the work. I am in a racing drought this summer, so I thought about maybe doing a short-distance time trial before my trip. Today, I decided to get towards that by running 16-12-8-4, and after full recovery, to do 4x400 in lane 7 to add some volume. To accustom my feet to racing shoes, I decided to wear flats during that part. I decided to be responsible and put on sunscreen before this afternoon run with not shade in 70 degrees. Turns out as I got to the track, some menacing clouds started to get closer. Ahh, the classic, apparently unpredictable summer storms. Another reason to work out in the morning (when they are less frequent). The wind became very strong as the sun was covered and the storm became closer. I saw some lightning and thought my workout was toast. I felt a tiny bit of rain, and then by the 800 rep...it passed. Missed where I was by not too far. So I was able to finish the workout, which was nice, even though it didn't go very well. 4 minutes rest between everything, including the 400 and the 4x4. I ran 4:49, 3:36, 2:16, 63, followed by (68, 68, 68, 66) w/ ~23 seconds jogging recovery. Flats felt fine. 

7:03 pace, which is very slow for Farmers fields. I had a very bad charlie horse in my calf sometime last night. Then I was also just feeling tired from the workout and who knows what else. 

6:17 pace, Resevoir Woods and around McCarrons lake. Felt kind of beat up so I decided to do this route where I tend to go slower. The bright side was that although the sky was hazy, the smoke that is supposed to move in hadn't come as of this morning which was nice.
