After the trail race yesterday, I went to the straight flat, asphalt, shady St Marks Trail for my 12 this morning.  Nice temperature, fairly peaceful trail, good ten miler... of course I was running 12!  Last couple miles got pretty rough, but got in the long run for the week.

Slow and steady on the trails this morning.  Right calf a bit sore and stiff to start, but eased off so no concern.  Nice little deer encounter to start the run - cant beat that.

Progression run around my usual trails going from 8:30 down to 6:45 pace.  Uphill miles at 3 and 5 were pretty tough to maintain pace, and I really wanted to get closer to 6:30 on the last mile, but the hills and the weekend efforts wouldn't quite allow it.  Felt mentally strong and ready, but legs couldn't get there.  Nice workout showing progress - overall average under 8 min pace for first time on a run longer than 5 miles - thats something.

Easy four in the neighborhood this morning - will do a bet more this evening at summer track.  Grand Prix event this week is the 800.  I skipped the 100, 200 and 400, but hope to finish out the series through July (800, 1600, 3200 and 5K).

Two more in the evening, including a slow and steady 2:38 in the 800 meter run.

Easy five on the trails early before 8 hours cutting logs and splitting firewood from a few trees we had cut down last week - fun fun.  Fourteen tomorrow could be interesting.
