The malaise continues on, alas. I had originally planned on a combination workout with a 4k tempo followed by some faster repeats, ideally a cutdown, but after six laps of the tempo discretion won out over valor and I decided finish the (slightly extended) tempo portion and call it a day. This was due to both the effort of running 5:30 pace being more than I would like and continued soreness in tib anterior/left calf. 1600 splits of 5:35, 5:27, and 5:20. Able to change gears well enough but again, it took more effort than it should which as always is indicative of flatness and not sleeping well enough.
The left lower leg issue has now reached the quasi-injury stage, still able to run but there's some level of pain with just about every step. In addition to stretching I'm going to do the strengthening exercises that helped cure the shin splint outbreak last year, as this flareup feels related to me.
Another nice evening to be outside, overcast but warm and a mild breeze blowing. Cooldown after the curtailed workout was longish (35 minutes) and quite easy.
