AM - no running PM - drove up to the Mesa temple to go see the Christmas lights with Sam and Joey. While we were there, ran 1 mile with Sam in approx. 13:00, then ran another two miles with the boys in the double jogging stroller - average pace of 8:07/mile. Walked around the temple grounds to show Sam the lights (Joey had fallen asleep), then came home, got the boys to bed and ran another 5 miles on the treadmill while Lybi ran outside. Treadmill time was something like 40:39, average pace of 8:08/mile. Felt good. I really got into a good rhythm the last couple of miles. I should mention that yesterday and today, my upper hamstrings were sore (I suppose from the 13 miler on the treadmill - incline of 1.0), but the run today shook out the soreness, and everything feels good now. I am still feeling a bit of pain on the top of my left foot occasionally. At some point I may get it checked out, but right now, it is more of an annoyance than anything else.
