After yesterday, this was a breeze

With all the hills and such yesterday, today was by all accounts easy. I laced up and headed out my usual route that provides a good combination of terrain, including two good hills. I laced up and headed out, the weather was pleasant, 6C and a light wind. It was clearing as well so the chance of rain was gone. I started out really well but around 5k the fatigue from yesterday caught up with me and I backed off about 20 sec per km to find some relief. The two hills I ran a strong controlled pace keeping within myself. I finished strong and enjoyed the little walk home. Feels so good to be running. I stood in the elevator as the high washed over me thinking that the only other high I have experienced like that almost killed me. I'll take this one anyday. 53:21 ~ 10k, 5:18 per km. Run long friends.
