:-)

Ran the library 6 mile loop.  There is usually a hill at the 5 mile point but I cut around the hill.  I am hoping I can just run some flat stuff for awhile and see if I can get the left achilles to stop hurting.  So far so good.  No pain today. 

 Laps: 7:38, 7:30, 7:41, 7:36, 7:31, 7:30, 1:02

Drove up to Kelly's house to see her before she left for work, then ran from there.  I figured I would get a little more exposure to the streets up there.

I saw this girl running up ahead with a Great Dane.  I used them as a carot.  I just about caught her.  I got about 30-40 feet away and had to turn.  As I was apporaching the turn I could see the dog pulling harder on the leash and I could hear the girl yelling NO and STOP to the dog.  I think the dog must be twice the size of that girl.  I wonder, can you say you ran a 7 min mile if the dog pulls you?  Your legs are going.

Well, I don't have my watch uploaded to the PC yet, so no lap data.

48:44/7:44 pace

Oh, currently no pain on the achilles.  Muscles on upper legs are noticably tired.  I wonder why.  Odd.

Just got a short run in this morning.  Tried to take it easy on the first mile (tried to keep it at 8).  Failed.  The next 3 miles came in nice.  I was trying to end the run with 7:20 pace.  I came close.  Actually I thought I was slower on the last mile, but turns out I had 3 consistent miles.

Splits: 7:43, 7:14, 7:14, 7:15, 1:47 (.25 miles\7:48 pace)

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!
