Easy 9 wth walk breaks on a 65-degree afternoon. Still very stiff after yesterday's race, and the old niggle in the right glute came back in the final half-mile. I hope this is just temporary, although I can deal with it. Wound up at just under 11:00 pace overall. Wound up with 52 this week and well over 520 this year.

Midday easy 8, having failed to get out the door while the temps were in the 40s...

Ten miles on the treadmill. Wasn't sure I'd do any; when I got on there was a really sharp pain in my left hammy which I'd never felt before. I got off, stretched a bit, walked at 4 mph for about a half mile, then bumped it up to a slow jog, then up to 9:40 pace, and after 50 minutes I felt pretty good and started throwing in 3:00 bursts at 10KP. Amazingly the beeper cooperated for the most part (or I could wait until after a burst to return the call) and I got 8 reps done and finished the 10 at a jog. Very little out of breath, surprisingly, three minutes at that pace didn't do it and two minutes recovery seemed to be enough. I could have kept going with that workout longer but I needed to get back to work at some point.

Estimated mileage today; treadmill decided to reset itself in midrun at about 6.9. Came in at 6, did 5.5, clocked in, finished the run with only two beeping interruptions. A couple of the thigh twinges from last night but very brief and did not persist.

Slow achy 6 miler. I could have done it this morning after work but waited for the front to move through. Considerably less humid now but also windier. And I was stiff from sleeping, I guess. Got it done in 10:30 average though.

Ten with the peeps this morning. Gallowalked with them for 3, felt pretty good, pushed the pace with company from one of Tieu's friends, and ran the last 7+ well under 9:00 with some at MP. Felt pretty strong in spite of no sleep and running at 5:30 yesterday. Wound up with 55+ this week.
