Had a great Easter service at our church and spent the rest of the day at the In-Laws. Back to work tomorrow, and I think it's time to do more speed work.

Night run through Oak Lea easy pace, 7:43/mile. After work and a Session meeting at church I meet up with the family at the In-Laws. Kelly's sister and her two little girls are vistiting  for the next two days. Ate a big meal @ 7pm and took my run at 9:30 with stomach distress the whole way.

Speed work on my 1/4 mile in the neighborhood. 2 mile warm up then 10x .25 @ 75-80 with 80 rest. 1.5 mile cooldown. I will have to get comfortable running 72's if I'm going to break the Alabama 1 mile for 42 yoa male. This was a good start I think.

Remainder of the milage was run with the kids at track practice along with plyometrics.

Easy 5 at Wilson Morgan. 38:34, 7:43 even pace. Very windy. Ran a little with the kids at track practice, plyo also.

Last night after Kelly ran she asked me about shin splints. She is feeling a little tightness in her shins. I remember getting them a lot back in my high school running days mainly at the begining of seasons, and sometimes the day after hard workouts. So I get out of bed this am, walk a few steps, and my left shin  tinged with pain. Is this sympathetic pain? Well I took it as sign to move my run to the afternoon and also to run easy. I'm pain free now, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Evening run after work.8X hill repeats on Jessie Dr. The hill is .18 mile, times 1:13-1:20. I was sucking wind big time on the last two. Warm up, recovery and cool down. Total time running 58:56.
