YAY!!!  Considered taking another day off but thought I would give it a shot and see how things felt.  Started the run with zero pain.  It feels so good to run pain free.  After a mile I could feel a slight burn in my achilles and that continued until mile 10.  It was nice to just relax and enjoy the run without stressing about every step that I took.  After 10 it started sliding up the pain scale a little ending at a 3.  My stride was not affected but I felt like I should have stopped at 10.  My left leg has always been a little stronger than my right so I am going to take this as an opportunity to strengthen my right leg.  Thinking that I may have to adopt the T/R training plan (Teena/Rhett).  I just don't have the mental toughness to be a cross training superstar like they are.

Yes, but much too complicated for a simple man like me. Running is putting on a pair of shoes and heading out the door to do something that we were born to do. To cross train, I have to find time to go to the gym and do something that is completely unnatural.

I hear ya! But you might find that you really like it, learning something new sounds exciting!

YAY for the 13 miles!
