Survive slightly higher mileage

Friday, 9/28: 7 mile recover run in the evening to Baldwin overlook.  Felt better than yesterday, still not 100% and definitely feeling the mileage.

Wednesday, 9/26: Recovery run, easy 7.  Right heel hurt a little at the start.  Calves hurt most of the way.

Monday, 9/24: recovery run, through culver city then up to castle heights and back home.  5 miles

Sunday, 9/23: 12 miles in griffith park with john and the runner's circle team.  Not as painful as I expected but I did drop back the last few hundred meters.  Maintained about 7:00s for the run.
