Wow, what a difference a day makes. I was prepared to go get miserable and quit running forever. Instead, I started at a slow jog around the Creswell Bark Trail - to assess its condition as well as my own - did two laps at 8:35 pace. No pain at all - in fact, it felt pretty good. So I went to the track and did laps while Zach was on a bicycle excursion. I finished the last 5 miles under 7:30 with the very last mile at 6:20. Absolutely no pain today - felt fantastic. Hurray
