Tue 8/25 - PM 85 minutes plus 24 minutes in Walden

Woke up with a bit more than the usual stiffness, soreness and inflammation in the right leg, so I did some compressions and cross-fiber friction on it a bit during the day at work. It worked to a certain extent in that the first 25 minutes or so of the run were nearly pain-free and much smoother than runs recently. Then I descended off Pine Hill, and that was enough to cause my sartorius to catch and the rest of the run wasn't quite as smooth after that. Still feels like gradual improvement is being made. Also picked up the pace substantially on the last 5 minutes, running fast in earnest. Not exactly comfortable in the core area but part of that doubtless can be chalked up to overall fatigue at the end of the run. Continued warm temps, kind of humid but dewpoints may finally be on the way down.
