My legs are feeling great. I'm entering one of those purple patches that come every six or so weeks.

Yesterday's K session was pretty solid. Usually I'd feel pretty spent the next day. But today, I felt great. Morning and evening. I didn't go crazy (I want to do a good rep session tomorrow) but hit a really good rhythm along the river, slowly cranking the speed up from 6 minute miles to 5.30 pace. That's a bit slower than marathon pace, but close enough that it's useful to put a chunk of it in. I was trying to concentrate on keeping my arm swing forward and back rather than across.

Yasmin and I had run to work together this morning. Beautiful running weather. We got a great view from the top of Primrose Hill as the sun rose.
