Long run.  Ran down to Forest Lawn and did some loops before heading home.  Average pace was 7:42 and pretty even.  Medial shins of both legs are pretty sore.  I can feel the muscle in the area and it's super tight.  Rolled and iced when I got back

Traveled home for family reasons and ran 7 miles at my dad's house in Amsterdam.  Managed a nice 7:45 pace despite the hills which I'm not used to

This week is going pretty poor because my mom's in the ICU in Albany and I'm trying to hold all my family together before they lose it. I was in Albany the beginning of the week and how I'm back in Buffalo but I need to go home again tonight.  Ran 7 miles before leaving at the park.  I'm a little bored of the park loop but it's easy and cinder trail is nice to my legs. Average pace: 7:30

Staying with my sister in Albany while home.  Ventured out and ran to Washington Park and did some loops before running home.  7 miles at ~8:00, legs still a little sore.  Hoping they get better or at least maintain.
