Notes
Went out hard like last night, was at 7:50 pace at second check point 2.65 miles in. Paid for it with shin and calf pain. Back held up well. Total run time was 47:43, added five minutes for stretching/ walking at my usual checkpoints: 1.7 mi (M St trail head), 2.65 mi (Al Khozama Garden), 3.72 (end of date field), 4.38 mi (north gate hill), and 5.5 (circle 4 - 8 turn). Feeling gradually more in shape.
