I tried to hold steady at a 2:15 lap, knowing I’d slow down. Initially, I felt sluggish enough during dinner that I thought I should aim at a 30:00 time. Like last time, I beat 30 minutes with a significant amount of wiggle room. [...] [...] Since the inside lanes of the track were flooded with the recent rains, my laps ended up being about 430 meters, which makes the 13 laps I ran tonight total 5.59 km (3.47 mi).

I found myself out of breath a lot. Despite the simple looking instruction, this was a brutal workout that literally handed my ass to me. I had to stop for a break every 20 lunges. So, it took me almost as long to lunge-walk the 450 m as it to run the 13 laps a couple of weeks ago. All told, I completed 451 lunges from my water bottle back to my water bottle, attracting the strange looks of the other users of the track. Yeah, folks, I look funny. Go ahead and join me, though, before you laugh too hard. [...] [...] I had to remind myself not to take giant lunges, but to keep it sane. I found myself out of breath a lot.
