    8 Miles from House - Climb: 253.00 feet

    I was going to run at the lake, but I saw rain on the radar, and it had already poured down rain once.

    So, I decided to go home and run around where I live.

    The first 4 miles were pretty good. Lower legs were tight, but it was doable.

    The last 4 miles and really the last 2 miles were torture. My left calf started cramping up, and I walked some. I finally got back to running and pushed through till the end.

    It wasn't pretty, but I got it done.

    Thanks for the info and the link, Tattiefritter. (And I'd like to take the opportunity to say I think your avatar looks like a seahorse. If you look to the side of it and you see it indirectly, the shape of you on your bike with the shadow looks like the shape of a seahorse, I think its cool).

    Anyway, tempo run this morning, 10 min slow warm up, 25 min tempo, 5 min slow. First 5 min at faster pace felt like crap, but I got over it and was feeling great. Knees were back to their minor protesting after last week's hiatus, but it could have been the pace.
    The best part about going up hills is riding back down!
