47'28" for about 7 Miles in Heritage Park
Big-time recovery run, but I was still covering ground well. My hamstrings are both absolutely trashed due to some new squats I have incorporated in order to fully heal my left adductor. That's how weak I am, is that body-weight (actually, I hold two GU2O cannisters in my hands- probably weigh 2 lbs. each) squats tear me up. They were very tender and weak and caused me not to push the pace at all, which I did not mind. A good run, and am hopefully getting healthy and getting my dedication back.

45'36" for about 7 Miles at Memorial Park
Solid run. I really opened up on this run. I started out for 24-minutes, passed my starting point in about 21' and then turned around at 24-minutes to retrace my steps. I really opened it up tonight in the darkness. My hamstrings were trashed, but they held up to the pace and I really felt like I was moving. "Moving" right now was probably at 6' pace, but I'll take it. More importantly I loved the mindset of just digging in and pushing without fear of consequene. I think that's what one gets when injured... you lose that fear of limitations. I definitely did not have any limits tonight and ran very well. Also pleased wth my dedication to get out there late after 9 hours of work.

46'29" for about 7 Miles in Heritage Park
Good solid run. Felt in better shape already, but not as good a run as yesterday, but I'll take it. Ran in my new Mizuno Elixir's and they were alright. A bit boxy and firm, but it felt good running in a new pair of shoes. Once again did not push the pace and just allowed the run to develop, as Dieter Hogan states. Good run.
