Notes
Easy Run [7:59 pace p mi adj for heat]
68 deg / 73% H [58 DP]. Did 2x drills prior (felt low level but more pain in left foot during running butt kicks). Started out and legs/hips felt good (fluid) but left foot hurt (whereas in prior runs it did not hurt), and hurt for about the first 3/4 of a mile. Had various people running along trail at different times, and my pace corresponded exactly with it as it distracted from running boring loops in a confined area. I had wanted to run on the road but decided against given the pain in my foot. Over the first 3 miles there was a guy and girl at different places so I would run a loop in the grass and get way behind and then catch up to one, then another loop in the grass where the other would be spotted 100-150 yards and I could catch up. But after three miles as it got darker both stopped and was consigned to this being a boring run (and pace lagged in mile 4). Then just prior to mile 5 another guy and girl started and I was able to allow them to get 150/200 yds in front and then chase them down -- but then they left in mile 6 so just jogged it out. Despite cooler temps still humid out and shorts soaked (but I felt like the effort was much more easier on my body, I never "got hot" like the prior days where I felt I was overheating & simply ran this straight).
