My legs were feeling the burn today. Felt pretty good about my times, but I realized from the first 800 that I slow down too much after the initial surge. Also kind of a pain in the butt having two younger guys tag along and ask me questions the whole time... like just run fast, bro...
side note- forgot to dry my asics after washing them yesterday, so I had to grab my brooks this morning--super bad decision. They are definitely what has been causing the pain in the balls of my feet, and killed them today. Calling it dunzo for this pair.
