Notes
Did a Lynnfield loop with a detour up to Ipswich River for 12 laps around the path at ~MP. Was aiming for a nice controlled 3:10 - 3:12 per lap but my legs had other ideas. Whoops. Had to hurdle a dumb fucking dog on a long leash during about the 5th lap. Lost track of laps and thought I had 1 to go after the 10th lap, then realized I had 2 to go--normally this type of realization that deep into a workout would been a crushing blow but I was so in the zone that it didn't even faze me. I just did two more instead of one more. Could have kept going for quite a while more too. I wound up averaging 6:15 pace for the 6 miles.
Stopped for some water after then jogged home and about a half mile later it was like it never happened. Like I was just rolling along on the continuation of the Lynnfield loop on an easy jog.
