12 easy, 7:44 avg. I have a sporadic lower leg pain that has surfaced in the last week and become frequent enough that I'm concerned. Fast running seems to aggravate it and easy running is painless. So nothing more than easy running until I feel like it's under control.

Trying to diagnose through Google, it looks like posterior tibial tendonitis, though the symptoms aren't a perfect match.

AM - 12 easy, 7:40 avg. I scraped and iced last night. I was a little sore getting out of bed, but zero pain on the run, then a little bit tender walking into work.

PM - 6 easy, no watch, no pain.

Unplanned day off. Decided to take a day of rest of the leg and make sure things are right.

12 in 7:02 avg. Quicker pace was fine aside from some tightness in my left hammy. Signs of sciatica as well. Lower right leg held up without pain.

AM - 16 miles in 6:38 avg. Still being careful with my right leg, so I didn't lower the pace as far as I would have liked. But everything is feeling good in the leg. Despite the lack of quality and a couple of missed days, this turned out to be an okay week.

PM - 6 easy, no watch.
