Lennox up Chestnut Hills to North Park to Shelburne to Warrensville and back South Park to South Overlook (alone)-

I felt horrible today and I'm not sure why. Part of it may be the heat or something I ate last night. I don't know but I was cramping and nauseous the entire way.

I started the fartlek after I got to Coventry. It was 3x3,2,1 minutes with an equal recovery. I took it somewhat relaxed and estimated my hard pace around 5:30, at least at the beginning. I had to turn at a bunch of funny places along to way so I could cross streets without stopping so the route as I've explained it is shorter than what I ran.

Along Warrensville Center, I seemingly encountered all of JCU's student population walking toward the RTA station wearing green. I looked down at myself to find I was wearing a green shirt by chance despite having completely forgot what today is!

I felt exhausted for most of this run and my form and pace likely fell apart some toward the end. I guess there are some days when I just don't have it.
