I'm finally back on a good sleeping schedule so it feels good to not have me "waking up" and me "being awake" separated by about 2 hours.
I had Nathan drive me to the nearby disc golf course for today's run. 3 miles to warm up the legs. I don't know if today was just a really good day for me or what, but I was hitting 5 minute pace on it and it felt like nothing. Turned on my watch for about 100m of it and it was close to 5 flat pace, but I'm sure I subconsciously picked up the pace. Changed shoes and did another mile around the course. Made a loop where I would run up a semi-steep grass hill for about 100m, then it would flatten out, and I would keep going until I hit .10-.11. Then I'd recover for about 30s to a nearby dirt trail with a very gradual decline for .15-.16, then recover again for around 30s downhill back to the start. Did four sets of that. On the uphills my times were 31, 31, 27, and 26. I lost two feet so technically the "downhill" portion times went 40, 35, 35, 35. For better reference the uphill paces went from 5:10-4:30 and the downhill paces went 4:20-3:55. After that grabbed my bag and ran on the asphalt trail for a mile until I got to a semi flat portion and did 2x1 minutes, the first one getting progressively faster, then about 90s recovery, then the second one trying to hold my pace I was going at the end of the first one. My paces were 4:39 and 4:19. CD for 10.
