Comments: Went out with the intention of putting in 45 minutes at a brisk pace but I was moving along pretty good a few minutes in so I decided to try for half an hour at that clip. I probably could have put in the full 45 minutes but it didn't make much sense to push myself that hard after last week.
So it came out that I was moving at just under my 10K race pace - 8:06 versus 7:41 per mile - but felt like I was going about three-quarters. That's progress but it's also shows I got a long way to go as well.
No real pains today. My left calf has been kind of stiff, I first noticed it during the long run on Saturday. I stretched it really well prior and will focus on it over the next week.
