Comfortable Quality at Dusk

Got out to the cinders  today about 7:30 p.m. after a day of work around the house stripping and painting.  This evening was pretty ideal with 58 degree temperature,  calm wind and the sun fading behind the trees.  My legs were not displaying any discomfort as I started the first mile of this workout.  I had prepared with 30 minutes of heat, my compression sleeves and nylon tights covering my hamstrings.   All of this felt very compressed and comforting.   So the first mile was 12 minutes.  I stripped down and set out to do a few CQ miles before darkness encompassed  the track. The first was at 9:48 and the second was at 8:37.   I could not be unhappy with either of those.   As usual after a full 30 minutes of solid movement I was completely open and relaxed.  The darkness descended as I cooled down with a  10 minute comfortable jog.  Total workout was 40 minutes.   I liked it!  

 Rest and cinders do wonders for my legs.

PS- I was going to do 3 but I chickened out because it got too dark on the far side of the track.  I was the only one out there, and it was a little bit spooky. The guy I met last week named Orlando told me that he usually runs at 3 a.m. . Clearly, he is braver than I.
