Easy long run at Springbrook/Dowdy. Felt kind of slow and sluggish throughout for some reason; not sure if I was expecting to feel better with all of the trail/hill running or if I was just focused on pace too much, i.e. looking at the damn Garmin. Overall my pace was better that when I first did this run and I felt a bit fresher at the end even though I added two miles...stretching to 12 miles.

Overall 12 miles at an average of 9:09 with an avg HR of 151. Compared to the 10 mile a few weeks ago I did 10, avg of 152 HR with an average pace of 9:39 (total time of 1:36 vs. 1:50 today).

A little right foot pain. Can't tell what this is from; either the additional miles on the week, the 4 miles in the Frees yesterday or the hard run on Thursday. Iced today and it felt much better.

About 35 on the week with one tempo on Tuesday and a few pickups on Thursday. Overall I am starting to feel better and slightly faster than before the BB.

5 Runs on the week for about 34 miles.
