5.1 K: 32:30.52
5.1 K: 28:03.84
Total 10.2 K: 1:00:34
Since I ran 23 K this past Monday I hadn't run for three days in a row. On Tuesday I needed a full rest after the long run. On Wednesday I didn't run because I had an early start the following morning. On Thursday I was too exhausted and sleepy to run after teaching a 7-hour corporate seminar all by myself. Tonight I was still not fully recovered, and ideally should go to bed early to prepare for an early start on Saturday morning, but another absence of training could have led to a setback on the gain from all the previous efforts, so I decided to hit the road by significantly lowering the expectations of myself. I ran without weights. I ran with shoes on. I ran slowly. I picked up the pace only when I felt like it. And it worked. Just like in most previous sessions it felt like shit before you did it, but it felt like seventh heaven when it's done.
