Notes

The workout went well, better than expected. I felt well-rested, but muscles still sore. My glut. med hurts a touch, but once warmed up I didn't notice it.

6x1000 with 200m jog in between. Should have hit 3:00 or better for all of them, but my pace was super even and I shouldn't complain.

I watched a multi-colored asian ladybug affixed to a leaf (some kind of aster). It was laying flat, completely still, and then started moving back and forth when I touched it. http://www.uvm.edu/~aoconno2/ladybug.jpg. It looked hilarious and I'm not sure exactly what it was doing. Apparently when disturbed they will force blood out through their joints and other spots in their exoskeleton. Their blood has alkaloids in it, so this "reflex bleeding" serves to ward off would-be predators. Pretty wild, huh?
