11 miles on the parkway 7:13. Feel much better. My calf is slightly sore and tight still. More rolling out and icing tonight. Upper body lifting with Riley after the run

PM: Decided against doubling so I could work out the knot in my calf from the race. ​

So I thought I felt ready to push it after the race last Saturday. Well I wasn't even close. I think my fitness has improved to the point that @ like 7:00 pace I am burning more fat than glycogen so I has a false sense of recovery. We planned on a 18 mile run with a progression. I slowly worked down to 610 by mile 9. But when I thries to go faster I hit a block. I held 6:10-615 until I was stopped by the train. After that I couldn't get going again and just called the workout and just headed back. 6:47 average pace.

9 and a half. Planned to run over to the bank then realized when I got there banks have stupid hours. Randomly met up with Kayla (my wife) and Max the dog on their run and ran the last 1.5 with them. The last .25 mile Max and I raced home. 7:20 average.
