10 in the morning on the turf field. I had some pinpoint tightness in my left calf, I'm at the point where if I don't finish a morning run it's a potential day-ruiner so I took off my shoes and it went away immediately. 6-ish miles of barefoot running on turf put some strain on the achilles but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. Probably a sign to retire the Vomeros for anything besides torrential downpour running.
4.5 easy + 4x200m strides in the afternoon. Went 34.8, 32.3, 3rd one I hit the lap but didn't hear the beep so I slowed down, but then looked at the watch and saw it did lap so sped up hard and ran a 28.9, chill no-watch 4th stride after that. That was 10 times easier than the 4.5 miles before - I started at 3PM and the heat was brutal. Started driving to the rec center to lift, then realized I left my ACT card to get in at home. Called my mom on the way back, that call turned an hour long, drank some fluids during it, and that brings me to this current moment in time. About to go to the bathroom and try and get a lift in still. 28.9 in trainers... didn't see that coming.
