Comments:
Woke up at 5, but took FOREVER to get my ass moving. Might've been due to my new allergy med (Singulair) making me drowsy...or I'm just tired.

Once I finally got moving, I felt OK. I had a lecture today at lunch time, so there'd be no noon track session. So I decided to do an AM hard session.

Thought about some hill repeats, but I wanted to capitalize on my good "pooping out the back" mechanics, so I decided on some hard 1 minute fartlek pick-ups with equal rest (on a timer).

Ran about 2.5 warm-up, then went after it. I felt like, after the first 1-2, I really pushed pretty hard. I did some mapping I think I was rolling about 300m for a minute, which is about 5:20 pace...but I felt faster than that...

Rolled through the PRE plain and back toward the park, I decided I'd keep doing them 'til I ran out of trail. Thankfully it was "only" 9 of them.

Jogged a mile back to the apt.

Was drowsy and tired all morning, but no SUPS ALLERGZ. Had a GREAT TIME doing the Lecture (flexibility and low back pain) at NW Christian. It's really fun to teach. I'd love to find a way to do it, consistently. Coty (the instructor, and a former patient of mine), said they're hiring... Ugh...more conflict about leaving!!
