Creepy morning! Totally pitch-black, and with the wind there were weird sounds everywhere. I stopped to stretch my tight calves at mile one, and saw a runner approaching with a flashing red light. I hoped it was someone that was actually a runner, and nice, and it ended up being Julie! So we ran the last four miles together--WAY less creepy when there is someone to run with!

Michelle and I met the speed group, but decided to do our own thing. Michelle was afraid of injuring her tendons, and I was afraid of pushing myself too hard. So we ended up with nine mostly slow miles, with a couple of pick-ups thrown in for fun!

Met with the speed group, and did a couple of 15-minute tempo runs, with slow running in between. I didn't even do the complete 15 minutes, I took it a little easier. Hope it pays off!

Ran with Jody and Julie, and did our 10 miler. We were going to do 3 miles at 9 minutes, then 3 at 8.5, then 3 at marathon pace, but my legs were so heavy, and my calves were so tight! I am starting to suspect my New Balance shoes, since yesterday I felt fine in my Sauconys.  I am worried that my legs still feel heavy, shouldn't they be starting to feel better yet, with my cutting miles? Maybe they still need the taper this next week.
