running long (another stunning day) 1:14:00 [5] 6.85 mi (10:48 / mi)
shoes: Skecher GoRun7
The Skechers felt great today. I noticed about 5 yesterday just the teeny tiniest little tightness in left ham...right after doing my 'preventative' exercises and stretches so it had to be that...I had been done running for over 7 hours by then...I ran okay today but two stops at 3 and 6.3 were specifically to do a extra cautious stretch...and both times it relaxed the leg. Walked a few times at the beginning 10 to 20 steps just to work into the run...I was borderlining it the second half but was careful to hold back also.
I really did not warm up except for lite stretching of the calves only.

Evening....only arm/free weights 15 lb'ers pumping to simulate arm movement running; floor core; leg/arm bands; standing leg kicks/swirls, lite stretching. 40 minutes. Wind 16mph but this was a wide open run...nothing to block the wind...no massive redwood Finlander forests to knock 16 mph wind down to .000111 mph.
