Ran with Sadie and Ralphie before work.  Sadie was being a complete handful for no reason.  Felt dead overall.  Tried to run it easy at 8:11 pace.

Right shin is acting up again, I need to get back on my ice/stretch/strengthen cycle before it gets bad.

Doing my duty and gave blood at lunch today.  Totally nice out.  Got to wear shorts and a long sleeve-T to run.  Took ralphie out for an easy 6 miles.  Tried to stick to the old railroad grade to give my legs a break.  Average pace was 8:08.  Felt ok despite giving a pint

Lazed around too long and was forced on the treadmill.  Ran an easy 4.5 miles in about 8:10.  The food pod for my garmin is always way off on the treadmill!  I trust the mill's counter more than the footpod which makes me a little sad

Friday night speed workout!  Was orginally going to do Wednesday but put it off.  Wanted to do it outside but it was very very windy so I was resigned to the basement

2 mile warm up @ 8:26

4 x mile at 6:18 (somewhere between my 5 and 10k pace currently) with 0.5mile active recovery

0.5 mile cool down

 Felt pretty great, better than I was expected.  Makes me hopeful for my next race!
