Today did an all-out mile down the canyon. Got 4:27 - (64, 68, 68, 67). Then did a second mile interval in 4:38.

My left leg was hurting yesterday and today - probably due to Thursday's workout. I had to reduce the distance today, and when I tried a 3-mile tempo down the canyon, the best I had was 15:58 (5:11, 5:27, and 5:20).

Did the uneventful half - my back is still not doing so hot, so I decided to pace Chad. After about 1.5 miles, my TOE started hurting (of all things!). Weird or not, it was enough to force me to slow down. My father caught up to me, and I tried to stay with him for the next bit. I dropped back from him too, and it was looking like I might have to walk home. However, something changed finally and I was able to run with the toe pain at a survivable level. I caught my father and Chad (eventually), and ended up with 1:16:38. Just glad I was able to finish this one.

Feeling some serious back issues - one hip is having to support a lot more weight than the other. This made it so I was only able to do 12 today. Did 9 in the morning (mostly on grass), then 3 in the evening on the road.

Today did a three mile tempo in 14:47 (4:55, 4:58, 4:54). Looks like the chiropracter is helping.
