Going around in circles

As is becoming my Tuesday custom, I did my speed workout at Western Michigan University’s Kanley Track.  Not all of the regular crew were there, but there were some new faces, too.

Dear Kristy,

Hope you had a great day!  Look forward to seeing you next week.

Sincerely,

Darrell

Wait … one more….

Dear Amy,

Great to see you tonight!  I particularly enjoyed running a lap alongside you.  Good times!

Sincerely,

Darrell

Our warm-up run involved a couple of hills tonight.  I cruised right from the warm-up into my tempo run.  It felt right to run without stopping.  Even better, my legs feel surprisingly good courtesy the new compression sleeves I wore.  Even better than that, said compression sleeves are apparently sexy, at least in the opinion of one of my fellow runners.  Go figure.

Dear Amy,

Maybe yours are sexy, too?

Sincerely,

Darrell

I tacked on a little extra mileage on my cool-down; basically, I wanted to burn a few extra calories.  Overall, I had a good run.  Now, if I can just get rid of my headache.

5.44 miles, 50:23, 9:15.7/mile
