Ugh, that was a lot of freaking kicking. Dang. I can't remember the last time I did that much kicking in a single set. I did the last 150s really hard, too. I was trying to keep up with the high school swim team kids in the lane next to me. Key word is "trying."

Hmm, this felt a lot harder than yesterday, but it was really less than 24 hours since the fairly challenging run yesterday, so I guess that's normal.

Good run. It felt REALLY easy despite quite a few hills. This is the first run where, when the pace slowed, I actually felt uncomfortable and wanted to speed up. Running partner developed a blister but wouldn't admit it for a few miles. That was the slow-down issue. Last mile or so, I ran alone. Perfect weather. I'm feeling really confident.

Still somehow able to make conversation at this speed. Felt good. No aches and pains today. Weird shin splint-type pains I was having over the weekend are gone.
