9M total this morning at 9:30am in 1:05.  Ran on OCA and in RSPP, S/F at SHHS.  Good weather.

Run consisted of a 16 minute warm up, then 15 minutes at tempo pace, 3min rest, 10min tempo, 2min rest, 5min tempo.  (This is a Daniels tempo workout.)  Then the warm down of about 15minutes which included 4 sprints up the steepest part of the hill. 

Alana was using the Garmin so I don't know pace, but I was moving pretty well on the first tempo portion, probably in the 5:50 neighborhood.  Pace fell off on the next 2 tempo portions, however, as I was having some problems concentrating.  All in all, probably averaged 6:00 pace for the 30 minutes of tempo running.  Not a great workout, but I got through it.  The last 4 days I have been completely out of my routine - keeping odd hours, binge eating and drinking way too much, and away from the house a lot.  Given that, I was happy just to start and finish the workout.

Ran in my new NB 826 shoes, which I bought just for up-tempo runs such as today.  They are pretty minimal and don't get in the way much.  The fit is fine.  My left Achilles was pretty sore for the whole run today, and the right one is a bit sore too.  No trouble with forefeet after Sunday's long run when they were sore.  Knees were a bit achey afterwards.

12 miles in 1:36 at Lake Waramaug.  Ran at around 3 with Chris and Kevin.  Weather was warm and sunny.

The 3 of us started from the beach with the normal counterclockwise route at an easy pace.  We added on the big hill up Strawberry Ridge (also Strawberry Lane) and came down by Hopkins.  When we reached the beach again we were at 70 minutes, probably 8.8M.  (Alana measured the loop and it is 7.6.)  Chris and Kevin bowed out but I wanted to get to 12 for a long run so I started the loop again in the same direction.  Did another 26 minutes out and back.  I was feeling good so I almost committed to another whole loop, but I'm glad I didn't because my right forefoot started to hurt pretty bad by the time I got back.  It has been sore but 12 miles on asphalt with an uneven road surface didn't help.

Monday is a planned day off.
