Notes
This was a GOOD run. Not a GREAT run, but a GOOD run. Had to get Ronnie and her fam from the airport last night and, somewhat ironically, going to bed late helped me get out the door early (figured even cutting sleep to 6 or 7 hours would make for some hot miles so might as well do 5)... granted, my alarm went off at 6:15 so not as early as it should have been, but still. After an expectedly slow mile 1, felt pretty good. Dropped a few quicker ones after 6 but decided to hold back since I wasn't confident I'd be comfortable holding that pace to the end. Admittedly legs got a little heavy from 12 on but nothing terrible, held together alright. I guess it was getting a little warmer towards the end, but overall very comfortable temps even if I was soaked from morning humidity. Just need 10 more degrees and we'll be in business.
Legs felt good overall during the run, but right achilles feels a little junky after the fact now. But have >24hrs before next run to work on it and recover. Not worried since it feels similar to the left one yesterday and that was largely no issue today.
Solid week, making improvements for sure. Still got a ways to go.
