Notes
My little head/chest cold made this feel harder than it should have. I wasn't really worrying about pace as much as I was focusing on my turnover rate (cadence). I'm a serial over-strider, and I've been working on it off-and-on for a couple of years. Today I counted my strides (one foot) two different times during the run. The first one was 85 per minute, the second one was 87. Still not quite that magical 90 everyone seems to tout, but closer than I've been before (I used to be about 80). Even at 85-87, my steps feel choppy. I'm sure that changes at faster paces and, of course, with practice.
