AM: 11 miles. Met Merri in Salem ran to SF and back. We did 8 strides within the run. Ave pace 8:21. My legs felt pretty fresh at the beginning but they still have some soreness and fatigue in them. PM: Went to Dr. Brady's. He worked on my right hamstring, which is still tight. He asked if I had ever tore my hamstring where he was working on it (in the middle), I said not that had been diagnosed. So perhaps there is a small muscle tear there. He put on another bizarro chinese herb patch on me, on the ham. I also had him work on my left groin area, which is sore intermittently over the last couple of days. I don't feel it when I run, just sometimes when I play with my kids and other times. Ran 4 miles in the afternoon. I started at the 7-11 by the Provo River and hopped on the river trail. It was hot! (90something) I was running out of time due to a last minute client need as I was trying to leave the office, and I had to get home at a certain time, so I wanted to run 7 min pace. But my legs felt tired the first 1/2 mile, with my right achilles tight, so I took it easy the first 1/2 mile, but then I warmed up and felt good, so started to push the pace. I did marathon pace in the middle three miles. Splits: 7:21, 6:35, 6:32, 7:05 Shoe totals: Red sox: 50, Brooks Defyance (Blue): 395, Asics Stratus 2.1 (Purple) 59
