Notes
This run started out very differently than my last. Yes I had pain, but it was a loose, liquid sort of pain and aside from that small draw back I felt strangely unhindered and smooth right from the get go. As I ran, I thought of all the different ways I manage to describe the pain I experience when running and I figure by now I must have as many words for "pain" as the Eskimos do for snow...
I ran up Mountain View and ran more of the uphill than usual (weird) and then enjoyed the down tremendously. I was feeling so good on the return trip (thank you down hill) that I did all Fartlek on the return trip. This felt pretty good too with less pain in the hamstrings than usual when I do speed work.
Surprisingly nice morning and a route that I typically find quite hard.
