AM - 4 mile tempo in 20:58 (5:18, 5:18, 5:14, 5:08). Great conditions with 66°F air, 65°F dew point, light rain, and very little wind. I felt incredible, and this is my first sub-21:00 4-miler in years. Added 6 x ~15s strides. 

PM - 4 easy.

9 mile sub-threshold tempo, 5:54 avg. It was windy this morning, so the first 4 were favorable, 180° turn and the next 4 unfavorable, then one more 180­° turn the last mile favorable.

6:03, 5:58, 5:57, 5:51, 6:04, 5:53, 5:51, 5:41

Track day @ City Park. Had 6 x 1000m + 2 x 400m on the schedule. Weather was phenomenal. I went through the first 3 in 3:04, 3:02, 3:01, and came through 600m of #4 in 1:47 when my calf tweaked. I stopped in quite a bit of pain, hobbled a cooldown and went home.

I think it's a calf strain. It's low enough it might be an Achilles tear. I hope not, but time will tell.
