Notes
Easy Run [8:00 pace p mi adj for heat]
77 deg / 60% H [62 DP]. Wore the flatter Triumph's today which allow me to really feel my stride. Started out and felt so much better vs. yesterday (less humid, can really feel the difference of a dew point in the low 60's today vs. high 60's yesterday...today I ran the entire 6.5 miles whereas yesterday I felt miserable, sweated like crazy and felt overheated at 5 miles in!). Felt in a good/strong position over the first mile (this felt like 8:20 pace), and then when I got past mile 2 running up Sharon I felt like I completely "lost my rhythm" -- it was like something unwired in my brain, everything felt more difficult, felt like I had to "think" more, stride felt forced. Had to really concentrate on maintaining a quick cadence and strong position to try and get my rhythm back, which it seemed like it came back around the beginning of mile 4 but it took another mile until things felt comfortable. Ran the first 5.7 miles of this on the road and except for some pain in my right arch (a place where I have not felt pain?) towards the end of 3 as I was running in parking lot of So. Pk mall, there was no appreciable pain. Noticed that I felt better and stronger over the final 1.5 miles (less dew pt today vs. yesterday's Burma death march).
