Notes
Easy afternoon run because I didn't get it in this morning. My feet, especially my left foot, are a little sore at times because my minimalist shoes have no protection under them and there's lots of big rocks on the gravel road, and I've been running on the gravel more often recently, because there's campers on-site and I don't like running around campers or really people in general. Had a peaceful hour-long run. Averaged 7:30 for the first two miles, so that means my last 7 miles were averaging 6:32 pace, with a 6:08 last mile. Altogether though, I really wasn't even breathing harder than a normal easy run. Usually I've been afraid to dip that low on an easy run because my legs get tired and by the last mile it almost becomes a workout, but the long workouts I've been putting are paying off. I don't know if I've ever been in this kind of fitness before, but it feels good. I'm looking forward to hammering some workouts this fall. I'm starting to lean against going to race in Bismarck and actually taking a day off from school and racing the Griak. I might actually be in good shape for it.
