4 in the morning. Was very sore when I woke up but on the run felt good. Dogsitting Gunner so ran with him, I'm nowhere close to being able to handle a commitment like owning a dog but it's nice to pretend I own one by dogsitting every once in a while.

PM - 2 WU, stretches, mile(1600m) of speed changes in 5:41, mile in 5:08 with a 80 second first lap, 6x400m with the last two in spikes in 73, 71, 66, 63, 58 high, 58 low. 200m jog after speed changes, 800m jog after the mile, 400m jog between 400's, 400m walk after the first in spikes. When I said fartleks get me in shape, I definetly didn't think that meant I'd run this 3 days later! After the 5:08 I guess I needed a couple of slower 400's to get my second wind. 3 mile barefoot CD on the grass + stretches. Left the track at 9:30.

There's really no reason the workout should have been that good. I started at 7:30 feeling very tired, hadn't eaten since 1PM so I downed a can of sweet green tea for some easy calories, and drank some sugary coconut water during the workout too. Also hung out with friends after class which is why I started so late, had a bit to drink, nothing more than a bit. I should get drunk before workouts more often(kidding). Time to eat!!!
