second session felt pretty good, even though i'm pretty sore. felt very bouncy/strong. made me feel good, because these last two morning sessions have really sucked.
really need to get back to focusing on my form.. i was doing really good when I told myself, "running is useless if i'm not trying to run like a kenyan"

.. ie, don't just resort to the equivalent of slouched posture in a chair, in running.. really pop off of my foot, short gct, locking ankle, using hips more, using arms more, etc. it's not as easy as "slouching" (running noob-like) obviously. but, quality over quantity was working good for me, for a while.. need to make sure I stick to it.
not much coding today.. dog's rash + other things sucking up a bunch of my time.. and morning runs are making me more mentally tired.. but that should disappear soon as I get more used to waking up early & running early.
oh, ALSO.. need to make sure I get some calories in before my morning runs.. going to drink a tall glass of orange juice tomorrow when I wake up.
