Taking it to the grass

My training has me doing a hard workout the day after my long run. Last night after work, I ventured up to Skytop for a loop used by the x-c team for some repeats. It’s a grass 800m loop with a slight incline near the start (and decline about 500-600m in) and it’s away from traffic, noise, and everything else except for a couple of dogs. 

After doing 10 on Sunday, I wasn’t sure what my legs would feel like, but I completed 6×800 with 1:00 rest in around 3:15. Really pleased with the workout and I was exhausted by the end. 

Proud to say that I am walking fine this morning, and I am convinced that wearing my Pro Compression socks last night helped in my recovery.
