I ran about 2 miles last night. I had one juggling ball with me and was experimenting with different kinds of tosses while I was running. I'm not sure you can really call it a juggling ball, though when it's isolated by itself. Then it just becomes a ball, or more precisely a bean bag.
I'm not sure this is the official term, but I was practicing a vamp toss, and found that I could do this in rhythm to my foot cadence very well. This is in contrast to my joggling, where my juggling and feet are all out of sync.
Towards the end of the run, I felt quite fast and fluid. I was pretty sure that I was going to look at my watch at the end of the run and see that I was quicker than the last time I ran this route. Instead, I was a minute slower. It's funny how sometimes the perception of speed is so wrong. It's possible that I really was faster by the end of the run, but I must have been going pretty slow earlier in the run.
My right foot is quite bruised right now, but it's one of those things I don't feel when I'm running. I think I got some rocks pretty good with it earlier in the week, and it will be fine in time.
Later.
