Sunday stroll - 4.6 miles, averaged 8:01 

Foot/ankle felt fine. Little niggle or two this morning. Nothing serious. I've done it in soccer cleats a few times.

Old Standby - 6 miles, no watch

Love a taper, hate a taper. The addition of a two-hour deep tissue massage on Thursday ain't so bad though.

10 Days Out Work Out - 10 miles: 2.5 miles up to Courtland, stretches, strides. Then 4 x 1 mile @ HMP: 6:33, 6:32, 6:27, 6:20. Recoveries were 3 minutes, which seemed like the right time to make it difficult but not painful. The last one was obviously too fast, but I'm not upset because it means (I think) I'm getting some snap into my legs since the effort felt comfortably hard and controlled. I started the first one at 6:18 and had to back off. Same thing for the last one. 2.6 miles back.

77 degrees with 66% humidity. Ran into the wind on repeats 2 & 4, but it was less than 20MPH and it kept me cooled down somewhat.
