AM - 6 on sokol at 6am(finally slept like a normal person for once), 6:18 pace. i knew i was putting on the metaphorical restrictor plates by doing all of my runs in the middle of the night the last month or so, but i didn't think i'd drop a full 60+ seconds off the pace at the same effort just by adding sunlight into the equation. maybe i'm not as washed as previously thought. would have liked to go longer but it was very humid and by the 30-minute mark i felt like i was on fire. thus you see why i've been running on grass fields at 1am(and why i don't try to avoid getting hit by the sprinklers when i do). the good news is i'm in the ~15% of the country that's not going to be experiencing a warmer than normal autumn this year, so hopefully i only have 2-3 more weeks until running outside isn't a pressure cooker simulator
AM2 - strength workout again. about 30 minutes compared to the usual 10, mostly because i did about 10 different hip stretches/exercises during it.
