Ran at DD. Listened to music and ran hard. I felt free. It wasn't easy, and I didn't understand why I averaged an 8:10 on the trail when my legs were entirely trashed and I had down jumps/squats earlier that had only increased the trashiness. The little hills felt like mountains and yet my legs swallowed them.
Sometimes after a solid recovery run (after a big day) I feel like there's something in me that needs to be "unleashed" after running so long so slow in an ultra distance. So I unleashed it.
By mile 5 I thought I went 1 mile too far but had to get home anyways. Felt good to "get it out," whatever it was I needed to get out.
