3 in the morning. Was going to do 6 but I still plan on doubling today and figured taking this week cautious probably wouldn't be a bad thing.
5 in the afternoon on the track with 4x200m strides. Was really just hot for this run(I don't mean that in terms of heat. I was on one!). Lapped my watch every 400m in case I lost track of laps, mostly 90 and 91's, couple a bit faster and a bit slower but that was about the average. Felt like my stride was matching that but effort-wise it felt like an easy run. First 200m was a 29-low, but even though I was on today I didn't want to put in any more effort than just striding out, and I know 29's in trainers aren't just strides(at least at this moment in time). Timed the last 100m of my last stride and sped up a bit for it, that was a 14-low. I had a frozen cherry and cranberry juice smoothie after class, a couple of hours before the run, noting that in case I just discovered my secret superfood. Felt like I could have ran 6-flat pace forever this evening.
