Strength training and a shakeout run.

The test day. I went to a sports center to run over ground instead of pavement like I usually do. I did 4 laps increasing the pace in each lap and that was a little more than 16km plus the track to reach the place I reached 19.44km at the end. Running on ground is great. I was tired but not a single muscle hurt.
