Monday evening run

Today I left work early at 6:15 p.m., and was out running at 7:00 p.m. in the Blasco park. The plan was to run 8 laps at an easy pace, but I felt good so I threw 6 x 100m strides at a good pace without losing form. First lap was 5:44, then did not look again till the 8th lap in 43:27, pressed the split button at halfway point in 22:32, so second 4 laps were 20:59 or so thanks to the strides. Then did 1 lap easy to cool down in 5:20 to finish up 8.1k (9 laps ) in 48:47, Felt good today and felt very smooth in the strides. That is a good sign. Weather was hot, but I am used to it already. A good easy run!
