1:46 on Galbraith. I caught a root on the way down and am fairly certain I broke a toe. Finished the last 2 miles like that and it didn't seem to affect my stride, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll be able to train uninterrupted.

AM - Work loop

PM - 8 easy on the Urb. My left middle toe is almost certainly broken, but I seem to be able to run without noticing it. My right hammy has also been a little tight lately, I need to work on that.

AM - Work loop.

PM - 4x200m hills, 6x400m track, 4x200m with 1:1 rest (1:00 hills, 2:00 track). It felt great to open up on the track a bit. The homestretch was quite breezy, but I managed 69,5, 68.1, 68.7, 68.7, 68.7, 67.3. Seems a good place to be for December. Hammy and toe held together, no complaints from either.

AM - Work loop. The sun is back out!

PM - Padden 5k pace workout. 2xmile, 2xhalf-mile (4:00/2:00 rests).

I had a hard time hitting pace tonight. I was hoping to average 5:05 but ended up with 5:08, 5:09, 2:35, 2:32. Sometimes you come through your splits ahead of schedule and find the pace is easy. Other times it's a struggle to stay within a reasonable distance of pace. Tonight was the latter. Likely just an effect of increased volume and intensity.
