Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
5.85	2.25	8.10

Early out from school today, so we ran at 11:30! Legs felt a bit stiff from yesterday as we warmed up to the cemetery and did the loop twice w/o stopping for a 2 mile tempo workout (6:20/mi gp). Last week I went too fast on the first one and too slow on the second, so I was so determined to do better this week. I held back on the first one a little and got exactly 6:20, then pushed so hard on the second one to keep it fast that it ended up being 6:09! Oops. After, we jogged another loop around the cemetery and ran back to the high school for a total of 7.6 miles. Then we took off the shoes for 4x100m barefoot strides on the turf. Knee got pretty sore and tight today, so April's giving me a massage tonight! (DS2 228.8)

Great run and out of school early, hard to beat! How is your foot doing, you seem to really be running just Awesome!

Thanks! The foot has been completely great since I had to ease off for the wisdom teeth. I guess it's the silver lining of that particular cloud. :)
