Notes
Pretty good tempo run, especially after not doing a real tempo run in three weeks. Physically, right ankle/achilles?/shin splint? was very noticeable at first, but then loosened up and was completely unnoticeable for the rest of the run. Hopefully nothing serious. Gels right before 1.50 miles and a couple minutes after the turnaround. Water throughout.
