Comments:  Although today supposed to rest after yesterday’s 16km LSD, still ran anyway because tomorrow cannot run.  Legs felt just fine, & also felt sorta strong, so thought that could handle it.  Yeah…  I thought right.  What’s supposed to be a slow run, kinda got out of hand (as they usually do) and became tempo run, getting faster & faster to the end (kind of).  I really didn’t push it too hard because passing Two-trees the first time, it didn’t show sub-15 or sub-14 mins.  Surprisingly, breathing was kind of effortless, and at one point I was “in da zone”, like running well without thinking.  Overall, the first 5k felt effortless, then the last 2 km I turned on da juice.  Haha, finished sub-50 mins.  This is the second fastest 7k this season.

 

Postrun:   Stretched.  Recarbo with just a pack of Maggi (chicken flavor).

 

Characters:   Runner in blue outfit looks like army guy.  Otherwise, none that matter
