PM: 4 miles
After a long 8 hour shift in the warehouse I got out a nice 4 mile run. I ran the the Skyridge High School track so I could run 1 mile barefoot and really focus on my form. Make sure my back is straight, I'm landing right on my foot, my head is pulled back, my knees are lifting and driving backwards. After running a mile there I quickly put my shoes back on and hit the asfault really focusing in on the feeling of a "perfect running form" and really zeroed in on making it muscle memory.
I found that when I really focused on my form and hit the streets again I was running a lot smoother and faster than I was before getting to the track, AND it was all with less effort which meant I could push harder if needed, but I kept it down to let my body recover. I most likely will be doing more of that in the future, because I really think it helped improve my running both physically and mentally.
