Penn Relays (Slow us Down) - 6 miles (927 total)

6.01 miles (Garmin link)
48:28
8:04 pace

Ran with Chris today. Had to run through crowds of high school and college runners to get through campus and down to the path, which slowed our first mile down to 9:20. This is Penn Relays weekend, and campus will be crowded until next week. After that we started with an 8-minute pace, and ran a bit faster every mile (follow the link for the splits.)

Wednesday I made some small adjustments to how I work my legs after flipping through Chi Running. (Basically, trying to relax everything below the knee - let the ankles follow through, dont push off with toes or balls of feet.) Today I had some new muscle soreness in my legs, but much reduced leg pain (shin splint and joint type pain.) I'm knocking on wood, and hoping that making some refinements to my form is helping.

Warm and beautiful - think it is supposed to reach the 80's tomorrow!
