After about 1.5 miles, I caught myself sleepwalking through another base run. I felt tired and lethargic. I decided I wasn't going to let this happen today. Even though it was a base run, right then and there I turned it into a progression run. My plan was to run negative mile splits the rest of the way. However much time a cut off the mile, I would ran the next mile half-again-as-fast. I know this seems a stupid little mental game but I usually respond and today was no exception:

8:59/8:28/8:12/7:56/7:38/7:38
