Five easy miles along the trail in 36:08.  The legs felt good today.  Splits were 7:19, 7:13, 7:08, 7:13, and 7:12.

Six easy miles along the trail in a time of 43:22.  I ran towards Macey's today, and went farther along the trail than I ever have in that direction.  I didn't realize that the trail goes along the road on the sidewalk for awhile.  My splits were 7:26, 7:26, 7:23, 7:06, 7:06, and realizing that I could catch the 7:15 guy, the last split was 6:51.  It felt good for about 7:13/mile pace overall.

I ran towards Macey's again because I can run in the grass along the trail.  I find it relieving after pounding the pavement day after day.  The top of my foot was bothering me today a little as well.  It feels like the same thing I had in Nov/Dec.  It loosened up really nice after a couple of miles though.  I did 6x100m strides in the middle with 100m rest in between.  My total time for the 5 miles was 35:36 for a pace of 7:07/mile.  Splits were 7:22, 7:25, 6:58, 6:50, and 7:00.  I plan to take it easy tomorrow.

The foot still felt a little sore today.  I really didn't feel like running, but I got myself out the door.  I just did 4 easy miles along the trail in 29:19 for a 7:19/mile pace.  The splits were 7:25, 7:22, 7:21, and 7:09.

Seven easy miles along the trail.  It was a lonely run today.  Recently on Saturdays there have been many people on the trail.  I guess they got scared away by the cold, windy weather.  I felt good overall, but my foot was still bothering me.  Total time was 51:05 for 7:17/mile pace.
