Notes

It has never felt so good to skip Sunday morning long runs. I slept in and I have no regrets. Again, my body could have probably used the sleep, and I think it helped. I headed out around 3, and the weather was beautiful. Sunny with a high of 52. It was thee perfect weather for no shirt if you stick in the sun, so I tried to find a route with the most sun. I settled on Tempo loop to A loop to Statues and back after adding a bit towards the East. Legs were feeling great, and the best part is that the rest of my was too finally. Because of the Sunday weather, there was a crap ton of people out. Runners everywhere. But especially the fake kind. Statues trail was filled to the brim. After running East a bit, I was rolling. I started at 7:00 and slowly moved down to a nice 6:45. Saw Mollway at the corner of Pennsylvania and Lincoln and joined him down to Green. I turned left down Green, and Hamblen and maybe Hummer were running? They asked me to join them, so I did. It was cool to run with some bois that I haven't run with before. We talked a bit about our seasons as we slowly dropped the pace to 5:45. I don't know what it was, but I was just cruising so easily today. They were scared the pace was too fast for me, but it felt fine. We did what I think they called a quad loop or something and then they broke off towards the Armory as I finished back towards the house. I have to say that has got to be the fastest long run I've ever had, and it felt great. I needed that after such crappy recent training weeks. I think last week really gave my body the recovery it needed. It felt amazing to finally have a great run again. I took my time stretching, doing mobility and rolling out after this run.

Typical Hamblen, always pushing the pace. He'd always do the same in high school
