Notes
I'm guessing on the distance and timing, but it's a decent estimate. Having made some comment in his running log that Uni ended up mentioning about honest pacing, David took the lead through most of the woods and kept it about 7:10ish on the trails. Since we were on the topic of honest pacing, I wanted to do something that would actually get my heartrate up and my legs working, so I dropped the pace to more like 6:45 on the way out of the woods. We stopped briefly to stretch before doing the last ~2 miles home, and we averaged 6:30s on the way back, with only a slight pickup. Uni seemed like he was breathing hard throughout, but didn't have a problem maintaining the pace. David seemed to have some issues with his form getting sloppy at the increased pace and due to glute soreness, and dropped off a little bit. I felt pretty good, despite cramping issues, and the legs felt fine afterward. I'll have to see if there is any residual soreness or stiffness in the achilles or top of the feet, but if not I'll try running in the shoe/orthotic combo again either tomorrow or Christmas day.
