Supposed to be a recovery run. Pushed the pace to MP the last 3+ miles. Felt good. Finally got a new pair of shoes (2 weeks later than I should have). I didn't realize how worn out the mid-sole was on my old shoes. Hopefully, this will take care of some of the lower leg pains that I have been experiencing.

WXHS track is under construction so I drove to the Bountiful High track. Warmed up with 2 miles on the track (usually warm up by running to the track). 6 X 1,000M @ 5K pace w/400M jog in between each repeat. Wanted to hold a 6:00 min/mile (3:45 per repeat). Splits were: 3:40, 3:47, 3:45, 3:44, 3:50, 3:45. Really had to work to hold the pace on the last one. Half way through the first turn of the last repeat, I felt a twinge in my left knee. Cooled down with 2 more miles on the track. It was pretty crowded so there was a lot of dodging of other runners/walkers. I think that the knee issue is due to all of the left hand turns. Icing the knee now and hope that it is nothing serious. Will try to do future speed workouts on the road.

Very slow run. Knee still bothering me and is affecting how I run. Talked with another guy for about a mile and I didn't notice the knee as much. I think that it is more psychological than physical.

Felt better today. The pain in my left knee seems to be subsiding. Going to assume that it is nothing serious.

Was way too tired for as slow as I was running. Once again, lungs and heart felt great but legs had nothing in them. That is 2 weeks in a row with a bad long run. I'm starting to lose a little confidence which isn't good since Des News is only 3 weeks away. Both achilles tendons were pretty sore. Most likely due to putting too many miles on a pair of shoes then trying to adjust to a fresh pair.

Saw a deer running down the middle of the road not too far from where a moose got hit by a car last week. Wonder why they are coming down from the hills.
