Overall Analysis:

Body wanted an easy day so I gave it one. Brought my pace wayyy down and let my legs glide on the treadmill. The incline was set to rolling hills so it varied as I ran, which I enjoy a lot. My legs are sore from yesterday and definitely tired. Starting out was a bit challenging, but as I got into the rhythm then it was alright. Gonna do some core, stretching, and calf raises tonight.

Running Thoughts:

Had a long day at work and I wanted to take my mind off of the unsolved coding problems that awaited me after the run so I watched a Nat Geo documentary called "Sharkatraz" while I ran. It's a documentary about the sharks that hunt around Alcatraz and how the guards would use rumors of shark attacks to scare the prisoners into good behavior. Granted, It's not as great as the title, but I learned some interesting things. Apparently the guards at told the prisoners they had tamed some great white sharks and trained them to hunt prisoners who tried to swim away from the island. They would even say they had caught a great white shark (they named him Bruce) and cut off one of his fins so he could only swim in circles around the island waiting for an escaped prisoner to jump into the water. There are even reports of prisoners claiming to see this "one finned shark". Thought that was kinda interesting.
