Indoors at St. Mike's, 4.5 miles, 35:39, 7:55/mi, 136BPM.  My right calf started to tighten up, so I cut the run short.  The indoor track is just a mezzanine above the basketball courts in the main gym.  It's concrete with no rubberized surface.  It's not much better than running on a sidewalk.  I need to closely monitor my calves and knees while I train indoors.

This is a fun little event.  It draws around 500 participants, which is a bunch for this area.  My results were very similar to my other 5k a couple weeks ago.  The temp was in the high 30's and it was windy.  Splits:  5:50, 6:39, 7:06, :27 last .07mi.  The first half of the course is steady downhill.  At 1.5mi, you head off-road into the woods and the course gets a little tricky.  I'm satisfied with my effort, but can't wait until I'm fit again.  I'm spent aerobically within the first mile and have to hang on for dear life.  It's not a very fun way to compete.

Went to Anne's parent's house for Thanksgiving in Rutland.  We spent the night and I went running in unfamiliar territory in the morning.  I really like the Garmin on days like this.  7.2 miles, 57:52, 8:02/mi, 143BPM
