Set out to run 10-12 and told myself that I would walk at the first sign of achilles pain. Got going. Rain started about a mile in. I enjoy running in the rain if it will start after I'm out. I just don't like starting off in the rain. Hit mile 4.5 and thought everything was fine so I kept going for a little more before I turned around. I was running in Lehi/American Fork, looking for the other end of the Murdock canal road. I found it, but what I didn't know is it starts and stops in AF. So I went about a quarter mile and the road dead ended. Hummm. I guess I will have to come from the other side and see where it ends up. Added a couple more miles around Kelly's house. NO achilles pain! Yeah. Now I need to push the miles up next week without pain. AP was 7:54, if I remember correctly slowest mile was 8:11 or so and fastest was 7:22. Was really really trying to keep the pace around 8, did an ok job. Have a great weekend. Happy Fathers day to all you daddy's!
