Started with 2 easy miles in 16:16 (8:08/mi avg pace), then started 7 mile Steady State run.  SS run time was 47:59 (6:51/mi avg pace) with splits of 7:00, 6:52, 6:54, 6:52, 6:48, 6:45, 6:44.  Aiming for 6:55/mi avg pace, but had some obvious problems towards the end with pace control (felt like I was struggling to keep up w/ 6:55, when in fact I was faster).  Pacing more difficult than normal since I'm away from home and the area is very flat (I'm used to the rolling hills).  Leg muscles felt a bit sore today, and by the end of the SS run, my left abductor was pretty sore.  Finished up with 2 easy miles in 15:44 (7:52/mi avg pace).

Nice run...how's the foot pain? I too have been having a little pit of foot pain, enough to notice but not enough to really hurt.

Thanks. It's still bugging me. I'm on a business trip, so I'm actually having to walk a lot more since I normally work out of my house, and I think that's contributing to it not healing quickly. I'm going to make sure it fades next week when I'm back home and take another day or two off if I need to.

Hope your pain doesn't get any worse...that's how mine was a couple of months ago, then it went away, then it came back recently and got worse.
