Microsoft trail at 7:30 pace. First run after my break. Felt much less awful than any of my other first runs throughout the years.

Microsoft again in the opposite direction. I think I might just do Microsoft every day this week. My left calf started tweaking up the big hill so I stopped to stretch it. The pain waned and I finished my run.

Microsoft again. Same calf tweak, same time in my run. Stopped to stretch and it waned a bit. Today I'm guessing it was because Richard demolished my legs in PT. I'll see what happens tomorrow but there will be lots of calf stretching before my run. Also I'll do Microsoft in the direction I did it on Monday because that way I only go down the big hill and the uphills are just small and numerous.

I should start bringing my GPS watch to practice. Matthew got 3.8ish when we got back on what I had thought was a 3.5 mile trail. We finished up to 4 around the park.

Microsoft trail again. People ramped up the pace at the start so I just let them dictate it until they eventually slowed down.

Got 3.65 on my watch running around Bridle Trails with Matthew and Will. I stopped my watch to look for cars crossing the street on the way back to the plaza at the end and forgot to unpause it for a stretch. Compensating I added a tenth of a mile. However, I think I ran more but I won't attribute it to my mileage because at this time there's no point in estimating. Due to the dense forest, the pace readings were at like 8:10 even though we dropped a guy at the start and the people who stayed with it said the pace was really difficult. Either way, I'm already feeling really fit.

The seasonal dusting of the cobwebs occurred today. Much earlier than usual, but I saw the opportunity today because I was alone. Matthew and I did two 6:50s and he split off from me for a reason I can't remember. I started to move faster and really enjoyed the new form adjustment I'm trying to implement. I ran 6:02 for that mile. Sped up without realizing and ran 5:49. At that point I realized that today would be the dusting of the cobwebs. This influenced my next mile pretty clearly as it was the only one with zero stop lights and actually was 1/3 uphill climb with no downhill, yet it was my fastest at 5:44. Decided to slow down as I had aimed to do 5 miles and I was still out a bit from the park. Maintained a rigorous pace but I realized I could hold that pace (6:06) and recover from the faster mile I had just done. Either way, I've never been in this good of a shape so early. It was a lot of fun to move quickly again, but I need to limit myself.

Another 5 mile. This time in my Santa costume with Chris Watson. I was surprisingly able to run fairly well in it. The track was open so Watson and I jogged down there. Just to get a feel for my legs and get moving a it I did a 200 in 31 with Watson and a 400 in 62 by myself. I would like to do workouts but it's way too early in my training. Still feeling healthy. If I'm cautious and maintain my upward trajectory in mileage and health I may be looking at a 5k PR in February and huge PRs during track season. Since this is looking like my first solid block of training in a long time, I'll probably have the best pre-season aerobic base I've ever had.

First run outside out and back from the hotel. Felt great to be off a treadmill here. Super muggy in Florida. There do not appear to be any natural hills here, but the bridges I was running over more than made up for it so it was a pretty hilly run. Felt like cruising so I held a consistent fast pace except for the third mile where I got carried away. Feel great but I need to stay careful so my great shape can manifest itself into fast times this spring.
