Notes
Well, this is much better than I expected from myself. I haven't been running much at all the past month, and tonight I half expected to just laze around. Chad and Jeff came on their bikes and ended up going a different path for the last 2.5 of the run. Felt pretty good the first 3 miles, and didn't really feel any difficulty at all until I was on University. Had a bit of cramping, and a bit of blistering, but even then I maintained good form and finished feeling strong. Every time I checked, my stride rate was right at 180 -- really promising considering the time I've taken off. Did the last half mile to a mile at more like 610 pace (last half in just under 3) and still wasn't having to breathe hard, despite the uphill on Main St. My stride feels strong and easy, and I can feel the amount of purchase I'm getting on the ground by running with this minimalist approach. Looking forward to keeping this running streak going.
