Half Marathon Training - Days 31-40

This cycle went gradually downhill and finally ended with me deciding to take a few days off to let my aches and pains go away. My Saucony's had started hurting my feet and calves during the last cycle and they were very painful after the speedwork session. My calves and hamstring were tight and tender and my lower back had started to ache as well, so I decided to take a few days off and rest.
