5 Miler at 5:10 a.m. in 47:08, easy.  Then another 3 with E.B. to the track.  2 miles on the new track.  Feels good and soft, but seemed weird not to be doing something more intense like my Yasso 800's or something.  My running partner is just getting back into to it after several weeks off.

Great run today!  10 miler in the canyon and along the Dark Trail up and back.  8:48 pace overall.  Downhills about 7:15 to 7:30 pace.  A beautiful fall day.  Clear and sunny.  A bit nippy starting out at 8:30 a.m., but perfect running weather.  The trail was clear, frozen in places that would have been muddy if much warmer.  Ran with Tina.  Pushed the downhills some.  Tendonitis feeling a bit better, but still lingering.  Continues to feel much better well into the run.
