COMMENTS

I felt very poorly before the run.  I slept only four hours at the most and didn’t even want to run.  I dragged myself down to the track and I realized right away that my muscle tone must be at a higher level, because it was the second day in a row that the first lap was a good one, right from step one, no warm-up laps were needed.

I concentrated on not pushing the Pace because I didn’t expect to have the energy to get past the daily minimum.  It is strange that, using the long slow shuffle, I ran precisely the Pace.  This may or may not mean that my Pace will increase soon.  (See previous notes on trying to run faster).  I don’t think I should spent much time right now on speeding up, partly because I still weight over 190 lbs.  There are many hazards in running too fast at this weight.
