Notes
Easy Run [7:56 pace p mi adj for heat]
78 deg / 56% H / 61 dew pt. Easy effort. Felt hotter & more humid today. Felt good in the beginning, running easy & w/quick cadence. Then at about 1/2 mile in legs felt fatigued and until the 1 mile, and then felt real good (so why did I slow in mile 2 like that?) in miles 2 and in 3. As I started mile 4 (turning around at Tyvola and Park) I again started to feel fatigue in my legs and felt my pace slow down -- but my pace actually dropped into the mid-teens which is where I wanted to be. And again mile 5 felt a little labored, and felt more labored when I got at about 5.5 miles in. But similar to prior runs, I ran the back half faster -- but felt slower and felt more labored?? Felt good going up the various hills/inclines as this was a purposely hilly course. Right Psoas hurt fr the start and subsided quickly (45 seconds in) into "side stitch pain" -- and that side stitch pain persisted until about 3.5 miles in. At times it really felt like I had a side stitch (which I didn't). Then at around 3.5 to 3.75 miles I no longer felt anything in the right Psoas.
