Note
Particularly if you live in New England, please consider donating platelets. Apparently Irene depleted the blood supply, and platelets are particularly useful without depleting athletes of red blood cells.

11 PM
Running 43:21 [2] 8.75 km (4:57 / km) +5m 4:57 / km
shoes: 201108 Asics GT-2150
Evening run. My legs felt well rested after such a long period without road running. While much of my time vetting was not spent running, I did run hard on trails, apparently without debilitating effect.
Since I was feeling good, I pushed a little harder today. Breaking under 5:00/km pace is much harder than it used to be eighteen months ago (at least without a suitable nemesis to drive me to excel). One I have built up enough base, I will start doing intervals to get my top speed up.
I felt a twinge in the front of my left leg near the end of my run, but it didn't seem to be anything serious. In the aftermath of the run, my legs are pain free - just slightly sore from running. I find it absurd that 40 minutes of running can wear out my legs, but c'est la vie. I'm almost done with part 5 of 7 of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. I followed the run with the usual stretching.
