Sunday: 8 miles, 6:50 pace

I was super sore today, probably from wearing spikes for the first time in over a month.

Monday: 6 miles, 6:15 pace

My legs felt really good today, so I picked it up a bit.

Tuesday: 10 miles, 6:30 pace

I worked in a 20 minute tempo with hills in between.

Wednesday: 6 miles, 7:00 minute pace

I treated it as a recovery day after yesterday's hard run.

Thursday: 10 miles, 6:45 pace

Friday: 6 miles, 6:30 pace

It was a medium run, not too fast, but it felt good and I'm starting to feel better after upping my mileage.

Saturday: 4 miles, easy 7:10 pace

I felt really good, no problems, and I wasn't sore.
