1/24/08- 15 minute tempo at Lacy. Jogged down easy in the pouring rain/hail, stretched a bit, and went. Was hitting 3:05 per lap for the standard loop (~0.48 miles) in soggy conditions. Did 5 laps total, feeling pretty good, starting slow, keeping with Scott the whole way except for the end, where I fell off a bit. Long way back, ½ mile cool down on the track. Shins feeling okay again today, a bit tight during the run, after icing, but fine otherwise.
