Notes
Took a day off finally. I'd love to take one of these 90+ degree days off but yesterday was busy. And next weekend will be as well. This morning was quite pleasant, though. That's why I decided to do a workout despite my waking up with a very tight lower back. It's a light workout anyway: 15 x 1min @ tempo with an excessive 2min rest. Which actually seems too light of workout considering I did 12 min of continuous tempo just a week earlier. Still, it's June, none of this should be super hard.
I warmed up for 2 miles and did the first 4 reps on the gravel paths before ditching the shoes and taking to the grass. This time at a different grass loop that seemed better (or perhaps just a change in mindset after my last barefoot session). I sometimes felt good, sometimes felt fast, maybe even both at the same time. The overcast clouds finally darkened and it started to rain just as I put my shoes back on. My cool down mile was a little faster than usual in order to get to the car.
