AM - 8 on mural at 4am, 6:16 pace. very windy. kept the effort pretty light, your hand is sort of forced running on a grass field in the dark and all. wanted to go about 20 minutes longer but the start of mile 8 i took a step and my toe started hurting with every step so i knew it'd be in my best interest to bail... after finishing that mile in 5:50, obviously. anyway took off my shoes right after expecting a horror scene but nope, nothing. it may still hurt but it's mostly healed up after a couple days off so i think i'm in the clear. nothing to speak of from the calf either, you love to see it
AM2 - 5 on mural, 5:33 pace. vent run; had a stressful morning which resulted in me doing the run i had slated for around 2pm at 10am. only about 4 1/2 hours of recovery between runs usually means running a little slower, which honestly might be a good thing: i ran the last 3 miles in 16:14(5:29, 5:30, 5:15), if i had ran 15 minutes i might have died from an overdose of self-satisfaction :)
PM - dynamics and strides on the turf
