Easy run.  Everything felt good except for my left calf.  Left calf was pretty tight.  AP:  7:13.

Ran this one in the afternoon because I couldn't get out of bed in the morning after being up for over half the night with a screaming baby.  Decided to run this one just a little out of my comfort zone.  This wasn't a tempo or power run by any means but the whole time I felt like I was putting forth a decent effort and it so it wasn't an easy or recovery run.  AP:  6:36.

I felt really tight for the first two mile but loosened up after that and felt pretty darn good.  Still a little soreness in the left calf, but it is doing much better.  AP:  6:55.

4.3 mile warm-up, 5k time trial, 4.4 mile cool-down.  5k time trial was done on hooper tomato days 5k course.  I ran it in trainers for the extra cushioning.  About 1/2 mile into it I felt my left calf get real tight so I ran it at about a 95% effort rather than 100%.  Splits were:  4:57, 5:09, 5:23, and :42 for the last .14.  Total time was 16:11.  I was disappointed with how much slower I got as I went.  It was a good effort though and I think it was good for my training.

4.75 miles ap: 6:50, 5 miles hard splits were:5:32, 5:33, 5:32, 5:33, and 5:27 into the wind, I took about a 60 second rest as I turned around then did 5 more miles hard splits were: 5:21, 5:27, 5:28, 5:27, and 5:26 (with the wind), then did 4.75 more miles back home ap: 6:38. this was a strong work out. The ten hard miles were done on the rolling hills of the Syracuse Trail. The legs and cardio felt great. The only problem was I didn't start until 8 this morning and it was really hot. I was feeling quite dehydrated by the end. Have been pumping fluids in since. this will be the last hard workout I do until the Ogden marathon. I will do a couple of workouts next week but they will just be maintenance workouts. I was glad to get one last good one in.
