Easy 4 mi. on the treadmill, as I decided to test my sore right calf.  Started fairly slow the first mi. but felt ok by the finish.

Original plan was 6 mile tempo run on the treadmill at 7'30", but tanked a little over the
3rd mile mark. Finished up the 4th mile at 7'44" and ran HIIT intervals for the 5th mile, just so this workout was not a total loss.  I need to exercise more patience.  Better to run slower than suffer injury and setback, which has been a recurring issue during my previous training cycles.
