Ran 22 south on the JRT into saratoga springs.  Started the day with Toni, Matt, Chris, and a couple of Scott's friends that showed up, Davey, and don't remember the other guys names.  Davey, me and Toni had planned for 22.  Everyone else was doing around 12-16 I think.  Day went pretty good, weather was warm, headwind for at least 20 of the 22 miles.  I just love it when the wind switches directions just as we turn around.  It is my favorite.  We had 7 miles around or under 6:20 pace.  Total time was 2:29:30 for 22.  It was really difficult to get going again today after a couple of potty stops, felt like a 90 year old man for a quarter trying to get things moving again.  Feels like a slight groin strain that has been popping up all week seems to get worse when I stop for a few minutes, but then loosens back up.  The right hammy started getting a little tight around 5-6 but then seemed to loosen back up.  Most of the tighteness/soreness I had yesterday was pretty much gone for most of the run.  My left foot felt very constricted today, though my shoe seemed to be loose enough, it sure doesn't feel like it, feels like I have some compression inflamation starting in there.
