Wed 9/19 - PM 60 minutes incl. 12-10-8-6-4 minute pickups

Another post-kiddie meet workout session around the Weston athletic fields run entirely on feel. Went with a cutdown in order to get as much time at LT pace done as possible in a given time frame. Feeling flat and tired going in, not exactly relishing the prospect of putting forth any kind of hard effort. In addition, right calf tight and stiff all day at work, feeling more and more like a mild strain. Soldiered on anyway, starting the first repeat after a 7 minute jog warmup. Tried to gradually increase the pace as the end of each rep got closer. Hard to say how successful this was but it felt like it anyway. Recoveries of 4, 3, 2, and 1 minute, kept them short as much to keep things moving along as for any hifalutin physiological reason. As the workout wore on, I warmed to the task and it felt like the pace was picking up from rep to rep. The only glitch was an aggravation of the calf while running around a corner on an uneven cambered surface, felt it twinge and cursed the damn thing for still being problematic. A lurking potential issue from here on out it would appear. Conditions very nice once again, happening as it did in the gathering twilight with the temp starting to drop under mostly clear skies. Much better than the humid mess I was expecting.
