My run was slow and a bit painful. My leg muscles are sore from yesterday's long run. I'll need to stretch and do some foam rolling today.

Recovery Run. 4 miles in 36:16. 9:04 AP.
My legs were hurting today. My first half mile was sooo slow, then I picked it up a bit. Mile 3 was in 8:20. I ran the route of the upcoming 5K, and I tried to visualize my effort and pace while running. I'll have to do a tempo run tomorrow on the course to really get a feel for it.

This is probably my last tempo run before next weekend's race, so I wanted to do a tempo run at something close to 5K distance. Turned out to be almost exact. If I were to guess, I'd say mile 2 was the slowest. I was trying to hit something close to 6:52-7:00 for tempo pace, and I did a decent job even though it was just by feel. I feel like I can run 6:27 pace next weekend and hit my goal of a 20:00 5K.

Recovery Run. 4.5 miles in 40:50. 9:04 AP.

This run was at easy pace, but my calves were hurting from my last tempo run on Thursday, and the hills around here are killer. Multiple, large hills. I'm just not used hills at all, and they are all over the place. Did I mention hills?
