AM: slept in on accident... AGAIN. 3 miles at this park across from where I got my battery changed. could have changed it myself to refine my automechanic in me, but the change was free so I opted to save whatever energy I'd have used up. Felt good from a very lackluster past few days, so I ran a little faster. Third mile I picked it up a little but after about a 1000m lap I felt a twinge in my achilles so I stopped, I imagine the cause is a hybrid of taking a big deduction in my mileage and what running I did do on much harder surfaces than I ever do. jogged to and from Publix after as I went on a grocery run after I finished so I'm confident my patent-awaiting S.P.A.R.S.E. method of recovery will do the trick as always(stretch, protein, advil, roll, sleep, and something starting with "e"). In better news, I broke the Strava course record by 20 seconds, although it did say I ran the 1000m in 3:20, which sounds a little bit too fast. I'd say it was 5:40 pace at best. I was trying very consciously to run just under 6 minute pace. Cool park too, even if I probably won't run here again until I get tired of all the intramural/hilton laps I'll be doing the next few months and want a change of scenery for a morning run. The park seemed like a hybrid of this one park in atlanta my grandma lived by that I'd run at when I visited, and legacy park from vernal.
