Notes
First post-VCM was really strange. First mile was adrenaline fueled, felt pretty strong. When the adrenaline wore off, the hazy fatigue underneath showed through but I forged on. When I loosened up and the fatigue haze burned off, the base fitness underneath was exposed. Wound up bringing it home strong, at a much faster clip overall (7:02) than the great majority of my training runs. Really strange, in a good way.
