Ran five miles with Tom. I could tell that my cardio was a little rusty from not running on Saturday. We felt like we had to push a little more than we would have liked. We really let things rip the last half mile though. Ended up averaging 6:25.

Ran the 6.3 mile loop today. My legs definitely felt a bit tired as the run progressed, especially my quads. I tried to keep things at a good pace but relaxed throughout the run, and then focus in on my effort the last couple of miles. I ended up averaging 6:07s. I had all sorts of people waving at me today. With two miles to go there was an older guy in his yard and he was like, "SHHEEEEESHH!! I'M GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO RACE YOU. . . . YOU'RE FLYIN' KID!"

Had a pretty solid run with Tom today. He had to poop again so that killed our momentum. I lost him on the uphill, and then he still wanted to try and average 6:20, but I lost him again on the downhill when I was keeping the pace. I ended up averaging 6:23, so still a super solid effort. My legs started to tighten up when we stopped for Tom to poop. I felt really good on the long uphill though. I was exhausted after the run though.

Ran a watchless six miles. It didn't feel too terribly slow. My legs got really tired the last two miles and I felt like my form was falling apart. I did 4x100m strides afterward.

Easy, watchless six miles again. My legs felt really tired during the first half of my run today. My left IT band was a little tight. I did about half of the run on dirt and grass. Towards the end, the ball of my left foot where the toes attach hurt a little, and my left knee was also a little tender. Hoping to feel a lot better for the long run tomorrow.

Got up and at it this morning before the sun was out and while it was still cold. My breathing felt really off for the first six or so miles, which was evident in side aches. I tried really hard to work the uphills today. Between that and it being cold, when I made the last little uphill climb back to 8th East with two miles to go, my glutes really locked up, and I had to fight that for the last mile and a half. I ended up averaging 6:21, and I was pretty happy with that effort. I didn't have any aches or pains either which was nice.
