Week 2: 8'34'' /km

[liv]

It's still very hot. Today I ran trivially faster than the last time I tried the standard Week 2 run, within the error of measurement exactly the same pace and distance. But this time the whole thing felt a bit better. The first couple of intervals were only a little faster than the later ones, and I didn't feel like keeping going for 90 seconds was a horrible ordeal. I think I'm ready to move up to Week 3, and I think that's going to do me more good than trying to get the pace for Week 2 under 8½' /km.

jack came out with me but this time he was aiming for a longer continuous run at a faster pace than I could keep up with. Which meant I walked back to our start point on my own to wait for him. Two (separate) annoying jerks decided to hit on / harass me, at least they didn't do it while I was concentrating on running but only during the cooldown. And they were annoying rather than threatening, but really, I could do without.
