Pouring rain and PF, so did 63 minutes on treadclimber, 3.5 total miles, 2k feet climbing. Got a good workout that didn't seem to offend my heel too much.

Beautiful day, easy Sch Hd 4 miles. Felt good, heel sore but not too bad. Also played in Golf Wars.

Warm and humid. Ran at 10:00 to beat a little of the heat, felt OK for a Sch Hd that started slowish but sped up to uphill 8:10s by the end.

Hot, steamy, went very, very slow. I should probably run this pace for all my recovery runs, got some time on feet but it felt much lower impact on my legs.

Hot and humid this morning, and it was pretty nasty in the sun. The conditions were far hotter than I'm used to, and it was my first race of the year, so decided to run hard but not go to redline. I did a pretty good job of letting how I felt dictate pace, so it's not a surprise that the mostly downhill/shade first mile was 6:40 and the mostly uphill/sunny third mile was 7:20. The disappointment was the up-and-down second mile, during which I felt strong but only came in at 7:11. So I didn't quite break 7:00s, my original goal, but that's OK, and I passed 5 people in the last mile to crack the top 10 and finish as the first old guy.
