Exercise Type: Run

Weather: low 70s. warm but then cooler when close to dusk

Comments:
Started out feeling more sluggish than usual, but then started feeling good about halfway through. Did 10x100m strides on the infield and felt really good during them. When I was up on campus, I came across a deer near bexley hall, so I chased it around for about 5 or 6 minutes, getting in some very up-tempo stuff. One of my lifetime goals is to touch a deer that I've chased to exhaustion. Ran comfortably fast for the final 10 minutes of the run, probably averaging about 6min pace--felt relaxed and agressive and like I could go forever at that pace. I think a lot of this good feeling is due to the cooler temperature near dusk. It was warm at the start of the run but then cool by the end. ankle barely hurt.
