Canal road with Jake. Easy 6.5 miles or so and then a 2 mile tempo at 5:50- I slowed down to easy pace on the hills and then caught back up after them to be a little careful on my soleus.

According to garmin my vo2 max has dropped 5 points in the past week, I'm pretty sure because I've adjusted my form for most of my running this week to avoid stressing the soleus. Really need to break that habit and get my old form back and then I think I'll be just about 100%. My calf was feeling weak and just a hint of sore/achy after the 2 mile tempo so I kept it really easy on the way back to the car.

Overall huge success.

In other news the biting gnats at antelope island might be hatching early this year and if they do my race this weekend will be cancelled so that would suck.
