4 very slow with the stroller. Surprisingly my calf allowed me to run, and it's loosened up since yesterday.

AM - 6 slow

PM - 6 a little faster. The calf is holding up. Still sore, still definitely injured, but it's allowing me to run easy.

AM - Easy 8, about 7:30 avg. 

PM - Elliptical workout. 10:00 warmup, 3 x 10:00 w/ 4:00 rests. 3:00 cool down. 52 mins total, likely equivalent to 8-9 miles of work. 

I was shooting for tempo effort on the 3x10, but it got away from me. First rep was closer to 5k effort and the other 2 were suffer fests because of it. Working out on an unfamiliar machine is tough, but I think I'd rather hit it too hard than too easy.

8 easy, no watch. Easy pace feels almost normal, though my calf is still achey.

Long run: Big City Loop edition. Warmed into it for 4 miles and then progressed down to 6:20s with the last few around 6:00. 6:30 avg for the run, about 6:15 for the final 14. It felt pretty easy, although my calf was letting me know it was still hurt. No major pains, just some soreness. It's continuing to progress.
