I was absolutely not feeling a 666 and decided to run a few miles on the track, but in this case actually felt good enough to do it. So I did, but in a controlled manner.

There are some minor discrepancies between the laps and the eventual distance, probably for small differences in the laps themselves.

I was thinking maybe another 666. That thought was dispelled as soon as I got outside and started running.Holy shit was today's run ill-advised. Not a good sign when I'm dipping well into zone 3 just to snail it. Tomorrow's going to be a rest day. Low humidity made for excellent running weather. Too bad I was too beat up to take advantage of it.

I went out thinking it was going to be in the 60F range.

It was not in the 60F range.

I had to work a bit harder than I thought I would. On the other hand, my max VO2 has definitely been increasing and my general speed is also increasing. I'm going to chalk this one up to some marginal weight loss. On the other hand, if I continue the gradual weight loss, I'll definitely be in good position for racing the Bay Bridge 10K in November.

This also comes after my first good night of sleep after three consecutive nights of bad sleep and no exercise. I think I was underhydrated for this run, though. I was definitely feeling it at the end.

I was not expecting an easy run to have the return speed that it did at this level of effort. I guess I actually am getting faster. Shedding a few pounds has helped.
