10 easy. First 10 miler since before surgery! It's hard to believe I'm able to do this again.

10 x 30s hill sprints. I'm having a bit of sciatica in my left side, and it really hampered me on the first couple. Full warmup with drills, but it still took a couple reps to loosen up.

Calves were sore but fine. Still adjusting to forefoot striking. My right knee complained just a bit, but I don't think it's a big deal. Very different pain from the patellofemoral stuff, but keeping an eye on it.

8 easy (7:28). Trying to do some injury prevention and lifted a couple days ago. Super sore, felt like I could barely get moving.

Ouchie

It's still early. I'm actually running and doing workouts. All of this is awesome. But man, I wouldn't mind fastforwarding to when literally anything faster than easy pace doesn't hurt so much.
