I wasn't sure I wanted to run after it started raining, but I felt better after a mile. Glad I got this in instead of bagging it.

Not easy but not hard either. I was trying to burn lard and in that I think I was mostly successful.

Easy run today, I haven't slept very well the last few days. But I definitely needed to get it done. So I did a very disciplined zone 2 run.

Not fast, not strong. I was definitely feeling some tirednesss in my legs today but I needed to go long and slow and running laps on the track to get standard distance in was as good an option as any.

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.
