I didn't run yesterday because I was pretty tight in my calves and inner right thigh from the weekends activities. Something about trying to run fast that really stresses out the muscles. This morning I decided to work out the kinks with an easy run on the TM. 7 miles in 1:05:00 @ 1% grade. Felt pretty good.

7 in 1:02:00 on the TM.  Faster today because I mixed in some speed work after 30 minutes of warm up.
