Notes

Ouch! I felt pretty good leaving home. Even just did some minimal skipping and that seemed to wake the legs up a bit. Did just a little after too to warm down after a hard, long run. Went to Grenadier to meet Longboat and they were fun, but I did thought today was their long run, which it was not. They have a tough little 5k loop in High Park that's a lot of trail and hill. The first kilometer+ with them was slow as they were being social and warming up, then I ran with this fellow named Francois. Two times the loop and then went out to lakeshore to do the rest. Fucked the math up and ended up running precisely 1km extra above what I planned. Which was strong though! I mean, felt strong. It's a bit silly, but I kept thinking "frame & focus," and just held up straight, hips flat, shoulders flat and maintained form and pace in that last tough kilometer. Had Frank Ocean in my head, chorus to "Thinking About You" but I had the words all wrong.

That was a long stretch without a day off. Tomorrow is a welcome one.
