Notes

If this morning's run was bad, this afternoon's was absolutely great. (apart from butt pain)

The first mile and a half came easily and my legs felt phenomenal. When I looked down and realized I was quite a bit under 8 minute pace anyway, I decided just to let it happen, and it became a bit of a fartlek.

1.5 miles distance

1 mile @ 7 min pace

1 mile @ 6 min pace

Half mile (ish) jog/cool down to end

It was fun to have a little spontaneous work just because I was feeling it.

Tonight my butt was REALLY sore and painful, probably the worst it has been. But I did a good amount of stretching out and rolling out and now it feels much better. Still trying to figure out what it is, definitely feels muscular. But I think I found a stretch that sorta gets at it, and that seems to improve things as well. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Uffda, sorry to hear about this "butt pain." Do you have any sense of where it came from or what muscle is giving you such trouble? This workout sounds like my bread and butter. Those days where the pace inches lower naturally are the best! I'm glad you're living up life at home!
