AM - 5 easy miles around the regular loop - 36:38. I'm getting a little bored of this run. There aren't very many good places to run this side of Provo, but I don't have the time to drive anywhere else.

AM - Got started late so had to cut this run to 3 miles. Bummer.

I used my new Brooks Adrenalines I bought yesterday - the shin was starting to act up a little worse, I was getting worried.

PM - Added 5 miles tonight. The shoes seem to be helping, I noticed quite an improvement on this run. Very little pain in the shin, I should be 100% pretty soon.

Some nutcase just about hit me tonight, I was a little peeved about it. Normally I'm understanding when people don't see me when it's dark, but this time I was wearing a reflective shirt and bright yellow shorts, plus I was under a street light right in front of their house as they were pulling into their driveway. Don't know how they missed seeing me, but I had to jump out of the way to keep from getting hit.

AM - Easy 6 around the loop with an extra mile tacked on. There's a little soreness in the shin still, but the shoes do seem to be helping. I expect it to heal up in the next week or two.

PM - Got in a late night run, 3.1 miles down the old Springville highway.

I stayed up pretty late working on a project, so I ran 3 when I got home, then added 6 more later tonight.

Met up at Sasha's house this morning. One of the things I love about running with Sasha is I'm never sure what the run is going to be. He ran a 10 mile tempo at 6:00 pace and invited us to join. I'm still a few weeks away from doing any serious tempos, but I joined in for 3 and was glad I did. The first mile was rough, the legs didn't want to move... it was like breaking rust off really old hinges. But miles 2 and 3 went by comfortably, and I think we were just under 6:00 pace for those 3.

I wanted to add a few more miles, but I'm still a little worried about the shin, so I cut it off when I got back to Sasha's house.

Sasha's blog says the third mile was 5:46, even better. I'm pleasantly surprised at how the 3 miles felt - apparently I still have scraps of my aerobic fitness left to work with.
