My body is tired but little soreness from a full out effort yesterday.  Easy trail run this morning.  Not a good day to tack on a lot of mileage. Did a short afternoon workout and felt better.  Evening: short 20 min stationary bike workout.

Lunch run.  Detected a little soreness while stretching but none while running.  Set out for an 8 mile run using metronome set at 90 BPM.  Felt tired half way into the run, so I shut off the metronome and shaved a half mile off the distance.  Need to be a little rested for tomorrow's speed work. 

 Relaxing 3 mi sunset run using ChiRunning technique.

  Currently, I'm not happy with my weight or the amount of sleep I'm getting...

Long morning run at a slow pace.  Energy levels high, but feet and ankles were sore.  Lots of unavoidable hills which aren't ideal for long training runs.  

After a nap, ran an easy 4 miles in a new pair of Asics.  Morning foot and ankle pain was gone.
