Notes
Morning run, which means colder, stiffer, but less wind. Slower start for about 3 miles then I wanted to do some easy tempo 3 min repeats (~3min rests). The first was only about 6:15 pace and Drew was having a rough time. We recovered quite slow and Drew had us turn around. Still, he stayed with me for the next one (6:00 pace) and then felt fine. The 3rd was slightly slower again and finished with 5:55 pace for the final. I wasn't planning only 4 but we were nearly back to the start. The real reason was that my left achilles had a dull pain.
Speaking of which, I wore some Saucony super shoes for the first time today (they were 50% off is the main reason I bought them). I was dumb and didn't ease into the shoes at all by doing shorter runs or strides. They felt very stiff (or maybe I shouldn't have left them out in the garage all night before the run).
