Elmo Loop

I ran the Elmo Loop yesterday and felt great.  My time was 1:06 and my average heart rate was 164.  I had 5 shots of pain in the left calf, but only when I had to come out of my stride for something like a pothole.  My thighs hurt pretty good, but it was a good kind of pain left over from the week before.  I was able to open up my stride for the first time in a while.  I don't want to get cocky, but I may be turning a corner with my leg injuries.  Claire and I will be heading out on the tandem in a little while.  She has picked out a hilly loop, which I will outline later.  My shoulders are a little sore this morning from chain sawing up a bunch of wood yesterday.  I guess I will consider that cross training.
