6 miles this morning. Ran from my house to the Sports Park (1.5 mile) and ran 3.5 miles on the soft grass. Then 2 more back home and around the hood. The grass running is quite hard to do, but feels good on the joints. It's a little hard to explain. It's almost like running in sand. I tried not to look at pace at all today because 1) I was really slow, legs are sore from Saturday's race. 2) I was running on grass, which just slows you down period. Good run though. I think it was wise to hit the grass today. Shin and calf from what I can tell didn't hurt at all today either. Good sign. I really really hope and pray that I have no more shin and calf issues this year. It ruined any races for me last year. I want to race this year.
