Running 21:21 [1] 3.82 km (5:35 / km) +13m 5:30 / km
shoes: 201404 Inov-8 F-Lite 230

Run to track workout. I felt meh, but I want to make it to all the track workouts this year, so I went anyway.

Running 37:57 intensity: (17:57 @1) + (20:00 @5) 8.0 km (4:45 / km) +1m 4:44 / km
shoes: 201404 Inov-8 F-Lite 230

CSU Indoor track workout #2. I arrived just as everyone was finishing the warmup drills and received my usual disappointed Magnus smirk. I introduced myself to Danny, who works at Brigham's Women's Hospital and does research. The workout was 3x 1000, 600, 200. I considered aborting because my left leg wasn't feeling great, but I managed to make it through all but the last 200, which I omitted out of discretion.

I was tired - not directly from the Raid, but perhaps from some secondary malaise that left me fatigued yesterday. Dunno. I ran at my own pace, falling a little behind the lead pack on each bout. I met Neil, an orienteer from DVOAland and a professor of Radiation Oncology at Harvard Medical School. He and I ran together for most of the workout, and he has two kids, 5 and 7. I also met Danny, who is a researcher at Brigham Women's hospital. He attends MPG meetings at the Broad.

Splits: (1000, 600, 200)
3:26, 2:04, 39
3:37, 2:09, 39
3:42, 2:07

Looks like I didn't pace all that well. Oops.

Running 19:48 [1] 3.06 km (6:29 / km) +1m 6:28 / km
shoes: 201404 Inov-8 F-Lite 230

Easy jog back followed by a recovery burrito.

Running 36:45 intensity: (32:45 @1) + (4:00 @4) 6.84 km (5:23 / km) +41m 5:13 / km
shoes: 201409 Asics Gel Sonoma

Easy neighborhood cruise with 4x1 minute reps thrown in for good measure. Garmin died during the run from low battery.

Raid aftermath: my lower back, hamstrings, and various leg muscles were very sore on Sunday. My muscles felt better Monday, but I was still tired - it seemed that returning to an energetic state took longer than the soreness going away, though that may have been from some sleep deficit. I felt ok today. Surprisingly, my left achilles pain has been absent, so perhaps a 5 hour plod has some therapeutic effects. All my stabilizer muscles (and core) were seriously stressed by the terrible footing and slippery conditions on Saturday. Gaining purchase of any kind on some of the terrain was laborious.
