Recovery run.  4:35 am.  ap 10:00.  Read the RW tid-bit on strides, read all the comments on strides, tried a couple at the end.

Still not sure I'm "doing it" right, but I don't think what I'm doing will hurt.

cloudy and cool this morning.  felt good.  nice run.

my goodness you get an early start.

once school is over (this week here) will you be sleeping in a bit more?

KP- last day for me June 14. Not soon enough. I'll be sleeping in, but still trying to get out before the heat comes. Maybe 6-ish?

school goes until june 14th?!?! oh my! that stinks. we always finish before memorial day in alabama. 6 is much better than 4:30. i'm sure you'll enjoy that.

You really are doing a great job with the early starts. You're putting me to shame.

I figure the same thing about strides. I may not be doing them exactly right, but whatever I'm doing must be doing me some good.

QP, love those morning runs if I don't fall asleep putting on my shoes, they are great once you wake up after couple of miles. I have had mornings where I seem to be sleep running. But, they are the best in the summer, beat the heat. Nice recovery run.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Nice recovery run! I still get tired thinking about running at 4:30, I don't think 'people' understand the sacrifices we make to run...and eat! :)

I agree with everyone, you are so dedicated to get out really early every morning. I couldn't do it. I hope the end of school comes quickly for you. I have no advice or tips on strides since I have never attempted any.
