Hill Circuit Day. Icy fog burns off during workout. Leaves me overdressed. Still feeling the remnants of this recent physical funk. I've been in these dark tunnels before. Know the light is brighter on the other side, and know the road map out is doing the scheduled workouts at the right intensity for THAT day and buffering them with as much easy jogging as prudent. Warm-up is 2.37 miles in 20:11 with three surges between 10:00 and 20:00 minutes. All three topping sub-6:00. Turnover is back.

Four Hill Circuits in 40:35. Running downhill near 5:00 flat at top speed. All four striders topping out in 5:2X-5:3X range. 99.5% full control today. Always amazed, if done properly, of the quality and balance of the work performed in each and every one of these sessions.

Cool-down jog home. 1.46 miles in 12:32. Lean February rebounds with a quarter!
