9 super easy miles. No watch, but I doubt I was faster than 8:00 pace. These 18-milers are still totally wiping me out.

9 easy. Still sore. On the plus side, I think my hip is all better. No pain for a few days in a row.

AM - 1 x 2 mile, 3 x 1 mile @ threshold w/ 1:00 rest/mile was planned. I got through 3.6 miles of the 5 before I felt a pop and sharp pain in the inside of my lower right shin, almost by the ankle. I stopped, tried to stretch it out, but I couldn't get up to full speed with out sharp pain. I ran home, and running at 7:30 pace wasn't painful at all. Unfortunately I was having an awesome early-morning workout, so it definitely was hard to pack it in early.

Worrisome, but I'll just ice it and rest it and hope it's not too serious. Initially I think it's just a tweak that'll go away on its own.

10:47 (5:26, 5:21)

5:20

On 5:18 pace at 0.6 miles before stopping.

PM - 6 easy w/ Rylie. No pain.

9 easy. Ankle continues to feel fine, so I'll keep the Saturday workout on the schedule.

AM - Track day at City Park. I knew that the recent good weather wasn't here to stay just yet, but still it hurt to feel the full force of summer's lingering humidity this morning. 80F air/ 77F dew point. 4x200m, 6x400m, 4x200m @ mile pace, 2:1 timed recoveries.

The best news about the morning is that my lower shin was pain free. After the brief but intense twinge from Wednesday I was worried I'd done something more serious. 

33.1, 33.1, 33.3, 32.7

67.9, 67.9, 66.9, 67.0, 67.4, 67.8

33.1, 33.2, 33.4, 33.3

I experienced a backslide on the final 2 400s, which is certainly due to overheating. I felt great up to that point, and my effort level was greatest on #5 & #6. 

PM - 4 easy w/ Rylie.
