I had an early meeting this morning and couldn't hook up with the Black Sheep for Jan's workout.  Instead, I went out and stumbled around the neighborhood for an hour--aimlessly trying to decide if I wanted to go to the track, run easy, or do a tempo run.  Big mistake waiting until I woke up to try to decide what to do.  In the end, the SI was sufficiently vocal and the legs sufficiently stale that I more or less ran something that resembled a fartlek. The one thing of value is that I worked on pushing my legs at pace on some gentle downhills which has been a weak spot in my recovery regime.  It has required some changes in my form that I'm just getting comfortable with. I'm going to try to get out this evening for a few, hopefully more redeeming, miles.

After work and a visit to the chiro I ran another 3.5 through the hood.  These miles felt better than this morning.  I think the chiro appt helped.
