10 x 10s at the end

7:56 pace

I think I pushed too hard on the strides at the end. My calves are sore.

Easy slow 3 miles this morning.  The temperature was nice, but it's going to start getting cold soon.

Great workout this morning on the track with Andrea. I really like these speed workouts. And no IT band pain for a couple of weeks now. On the last rep, it felt like my form got a bit sloppy.

Did 4 easy miles this morning with an 8:22 pace in my new shoes.  The shoes felt good.  Nice big toe box.  I could definitely feel the lack of a heel and I hope my preparation has strengthened my calves enough.  I did however feel some discomfort today on the inside of my shins (mostly the left leg) during and after the run.  Maybe they weren't ready for the increase in mileage.  I'll have to consult coach Andrea.

Did a late night, 10.5 mile run up Dimple Dell. The soft surface felt good and my shins didn't hurt. But I really need a new headlamp. I could hardly see the trail and almost twisted my ankle a couple of times. On top of that, it was freezing down in the gully. Felt like 10 degrees cooler than up top.

Another dark run up Dimple Dell.  No shin pain.  I had just gotten down in the gully when two dogs cornered me.  In the dark I didn't see them coming and then the little dog bit my ankle.  I'll bring a pocket full of kibble next time.
