8 in 6:58 avg. Trying out my new Bostons. First impression is good, though they may not be cushioned enough for big weekly volume in them. We'll see.

AM - 4 mile tempo. Trying to get my training back on track. Started slow and cranked it up, though I wanted this to be a modest effort. 5:48, 5:45, 5:33, 5:31 for 5:39 avg. Added 6 x strides after.

PM - 6 easy. 7:20 average.

12 easy, 7:24 average. I felt rough this morning, amplified by upper-end swampy conditions.

8 x 300m levee sprints. Feeling sore and had a tough time getting going. Reps were slower than the recent past, but at least the last 3-4 were at full speed. I scrapped plans for steady running following the sprints and just jogged easy. 7:44 avg for the whole run.
