Finally got out of the chair and down to the mill for an hour. And for once the pager cooperated; not a single beep. Worked my way up to sub-9 pace for the last mile-ish, total of 6.29 in 60:00. Legs were OK, as I guess they should be after 10 days of almost total rest.

Progression run after work. Hips were a little tight but loosened eventually and I got pace down around 9:00 for the last three miles. Overall just under 10:00 average for the 10K

Treadmill run at 2:30 a.m. Originally planned to do 5.5 but the pager cooperated and the legs felt good so I kept going, then cranked it up to MP at the 7 mile mark, followed by half mile cooldown.

5 miles of nothingburger except for the return of that twinge in the left hammy. May take tomorrow off to let it heal. Need to run at Spa, nothing else of significance right now.

Cold, windy and rainy at Hot Springs this morning, especially the first two miles. And I knew I wasn't going to be very fast with my lack of training this month. But got through it with a decent finish anyway, and didn't walk over the mountain. Lionel walked three times and still beat me, which was annoying, but he's in better shape than I am right now.
