Bring 5K back under 18 minutes.
Current training phase: Base building and weight loss (getting slower to get faster). Long-Term Running Goals: Have fun with my training and races. Maintain athleticism and physical versatility through old age. I'll probably run many marathons, but I won't do pure marathon training year-round because I am probably more interesting in maintaining overall athletic versatility. Personal: My approach to training is feeling and effort based. Particular workouts should feel a certain way and I try to apply the right amount of effort to match that feeling. On the other hand, I'm pretty analytical by nature so I like to analyze and record my workouts in thorough detail. I think optimal training is a balance between the intuitive and analytical.

Running is out of the question. I'm barely able to walk. Really.

Running is still out of the question. I can walk with a little less pain. Quads and calves are still severely sore.
10 minutes easy on the stationary bike to try and pump some of the junk through my legs.

Off. Still too sore to run. Calves almost seem worse than quads. Each day it gets a little better.

A.M. 10 minutes jogging. Quads are coming around, but calves are still too sore to run on. I'm not in a hurry. Recovery is my number one priority right now and focusing on it is the best long-term strategy.

A.M. 21st East Loop + block lap.
My legs are feeling better but my calves are still a little tight. Also, my legs feel brittle, if such a thing is possible. I enjoyed finally going on a real run.
32:01/3.61 mi = 8:37/mi
