9 miles, hard
38 degrees, dark

I returned to running by hitting the track with the team, which even at the time seemed foolish.  I joined the guys for as much as I could, and managed a somewhat decent ladder workout.  I followed or paced Dusen and Dickson for 800-1200-1600-1200-800 of their 5xmile workout.  At the end of the workout, I had some serious pain in my left shin and knee, and speculated that I had a stress reaction/fracture.

Splits:

800:  2:38
1200: 3:53
1600: 5:01
1200: 3:50 (fell off pace badly the last lap)
800:   2:30
