pm--7.75 Fields Long Run. I wasn't sure what I would run today, but Josie was going to shoot for 60 or 70 minutes. I thought I would give that a shot. My calf--I'm sure I have a soleus strain--felt the same throughout the run. And I feel pretty decent getting around on it after. That's a plus. I'm not going to jump into any quicker stuff and will try to avoid hills as much as possible this week. See how that works. RHR--51.

pm--5 Prospector from under the freeway. I felt surprisingly good today. The soleus was a bit twitchy during the stretch after, but nothing big. RHR--49.

am--2.5 Nearly to the bank and back. Leg feels a bit better. RHR--49.

pm--7 Ran laps around the track while the kids rocked their 8k-pace workout. Boy, they looked awesome today. 

Finished another book this evening: Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut. He's one of my favorites. I learned something about Armenia and Abstract Expressionism. Vonnegut mixes history and humor in a most palatable way.

am--3.5 Neighborhood bushes and STG Running Center Loop. Nice drizzly morning, but, boy, was I tired. The weekend can't come soon enough. RHR--56.

pm--5 To and from the hill workout. Kids look strong. The leg feels a lot better. Next week should be a real week again.

pm--8 Progressive Run for ~65 minutes. The leg felt decent. Upping the speed towards the end made it a bit tight. I erged for 10 minutes after. Good week. I seem to be on the up-and-up.
