This was essentially a repeat of Fort Ben - I started out fast (sub-5), then around 3 miles the quad spasm triggered. I slowed down to 6:00 pace for two miles, then gradually sped back up until I was doing about 5:10 for the last one. It was frustrating to say the least. I'd hoped that the physical therapy I've been getting would bear some fruit, but apparently not. I'll give it another month or two and then try something different. This is currently my biggest roadblock in running.
I'm happy though that I was at least under 1:10:00 this time - baby steps.
