KeWash

Notes

Somedays you just know it's going to feel easy and today was one of those days. Really, an easy run, but I'll call it a half or full marathon paced tempo run for 6 miles. Legs have felt very strong lately.

Spent a little more time stretching and rolling the past week and seems to be making a difference.

7:42 seemed to be the pace of choice at the end. Again my legs just felt like running this tempo. Easily could have gone much faster, but will save it for Hit the Bricks.

Would be nice to know the science behind feeling this way other than eating right.

Battled the plane again today. For at least a mile and a half...back and forth across the kewash spraying a corn field to the south.

On the return, I saw a group of runners on the KeWash looking like they had run 2 miles (to the first road and back). They were 1/2 mile ahead when I first saw them and ended up about 1/4 mile behind them. Made up some ground. I think it was some cross country kids from Keota (JH and HS).

8:23/7:46/7:59/7:56/7:42/7:42

Will go a few miles with Tessa now. Very easy.
