The legs felt pretty good today so that was a good sign.  The calves started out a little tight, but loosened up quite a bit.  I went a little longer today so I can take a couple of days off.

Woke up to rain.  I don't mind running in the rain though.  I kind of enjoy it, but there was a pretty stiff wind as well from the west to southwest.  The legs felt pretty good so hopefully this new schedule will help.  April worked wonders on my calf.  I was thinking I was going to have to take a couple of weeks off.

I went up to Desert Hills track and did some speed work.  I was solo which made it extra painful.  I ran the first 3 800's at 3:00 pace, the next 3 were at 3:03 pace.  I then threw in two 1:26 400's.  It was a good workout as much as I detest the speed work.  I did quarter jogs in between the laps.  I had 6 miles when I finished up the speed work so I went home and did 4 miles on the treadmill.  Steph had to go out for her run so I had to get home to stay with our little one.  I ran the last 4 at 8:00-8:15.

It was a solo run today because Dace had a 5k in Hurricane.  Jenae was running her first 1/2 marathon in Hurricane.  She did awesome for her first long race. 

The legs felt pretty good today so I went out at a faster pace than I normally do.  I then went to Hannah's soccer game.  Then it was off to Hurricane for Russell's headstone dedication and a luncheon with the extende family.  It was good to see everyone.  Brenda and Jenny were still having a really tough time with the whole thing.
