4.25 super easy around the neighborhood - 38:52.  Very sore and tight today.  I could barely get my legs to move the entire run.

Trail running and hill running at Brown County State Park.  Some great long, steep climbing portions on this trail.  Great hill workout - really got the heart rate up.  Also, what a beautiful place to be with the leaves changing colors!

Great weather this morning - 45 degrees, overcast.  Went in with the left knee sore and ready to take whatever happened as a "sign" of things to come.  about a half mile of strides and jogging with some stretching before.

 The hilly portions of this really showed in the splits, especially the second half of this course - it got the hammies and knee really talking to me.  Awfully slow last 5k after a PR for 10 miles.  

6:08, 6:17, 6:46, 6:22, 6:11, 6:23, 6:31, 6:23, 6:20, 6:36, 6:59, 6:43, 6:39, 0:46 - for what watch showed as 0.13 mi.

The overall guys' times kind of reflected the difficulty of this course - I think the winning guy is usually a sub 1:10 guy - he was about 1:14 today.  Opted out of the evening 5k, wisely... My left leg feels awful :(  CR Series 5k tomorrow?  Probably shouldn't...
