A long spell of miserable weather is finally gone. The sun is back, and so are fitness lovers in the neighborhood. Families and young people played sports here and there in the park, enjoying the sun that had been long wanted.
I warmed up by jogging in bare feet for a while. Then I threw tires to strengthen my core, back and shoulders. I also did sprints to stimulate cardio.
Warm Up 4 K: 21:35.45

Warm Down 4 K: 22:45.75
Total 9.08 K: 1:05:59
I wrapped up the training by jogging 4 K after the sprints. I hear it said that the benefit is large when you jog after speed based training.
I felt awesome after completing all this, but unbelievably hungry also. I jumped on my motorcycle after taking a quick shower and hit a local buckwheat noodles restaurant. When the stomach was filled, an awesome feeling of peace and comfort engulfed me, and for a moment I felt like I was in some mysteriously timeless kingdom. It's an almost euphoric state of mind. Positive addiction, some may call it. But it's not a bad thing. It only makes you strong. There is practically no negative side-effect. I highly recommend you too run, throw tires, and do sprints.
