Nice day (41) but pretty windy.  We are heading out of town for a college visit with my daughter but was able to get in a few miles before we left.  Felt good today and running came easy.  Just ran by feel and seemed to pick it up as I went along.

Springfield, MO:  Visting a college with my daughter (that is hard to believe, where does time go) so did a quick run on the hotel TM.  Felt good but just ran easy.

Not a bad day but a little cool (33) and windy. Felt good today and ran easy for the first 4 miles then picked it up on the last 4 miles to around 7:30 pace.  Just nice and smooth with no forcing the pace.

Nice day (42) with some wind.  Felt pretty good but just ran easy today.  Thought about doing a workout today but was rushing around today and just didn't get into.  Need to do something fast tomorrow.

Nice day (45) and windy.  Felt kind of sluggish today but wanted to do a tempo.  I planned 4 miles at 6:45.  I started the tempo and felt tired but kept it going for the first mile.  Started having some cramps in my left calf so slowed down to MP and it got better.  After about a mile at MP started hurting again so slowed down to a jog.  It really started to hurt toward the end. Need some stretching and massage.

Gatlinburg, TN:  Hiking in the Smoky Mountains.  Did 8 miles today on a beautiful day.  Calf was still very sore from yesterday but seemed to loosen up some as I went along.  Not sure I could have ran today on it.
