Overall anaylsis:

Ran the first 3.1 miles (uphill) hard (21:11 for 5k time), rest (downhill) easier. Heat is hard, need to get better at running when it's hot. Legs are tight from this weeks run, need to stretch and massage more, going to roll out tonight. Need to make nightly walks a thing to help cool/wind down

Running thoughts:

Need to drink more water, find a water bottle and always keep it full. Want to start reading more running books, any recommendations? I also want to be more thorough with my data logging, should pay more attention to how I feel during runs and immediately log so I don't miss anything. Any other suggestions?

Running book: If you never read Once a Runner, it's the best. Fiction.
