AM - 10 on mural in the dead of night once again, 6:01 pace. if it weren't hard enough trying not to sprain an ankle on the grass with the limited depth perception afforded by nothing but the moonlight and my phone flash, it also got extremely foggy after maybe 5 minutes. it mostly settled by the last 3-4 miles, but when it was bad i couldn't see the ground more than 5 feet ahead of me. i try to refrain from the "what-if" game but i have zero doubt this one would have been at least under 5:50 pace if i had ran at like 8am when the ground was more compact, much less wet, and i could, you know, see it. almost makes you wonder why i didn't. what a stupid question
AM2 - 4 on mural, 5:27 pace. felt good! grass was still very wet, don't think the legs could have moved much faster(at least on this course) but aerobically it felt very controlled. basically a repeat of wednesday's second run sans the first mile that day where i was easing into it as the run wasn't planned. even ran the last 3 miles in 16:14 again! i got hurt last week and somehow came back in even better shape and i'm kind of terrified lol
PM - turf dynamics and strides
