Drove to the Farmington station of the LPT.  Warmed up with 3 miles at 7:55/mile then ran 12 miles at MP.  It was supposed to be 14 miles at MP but I hit the wall and cut it short.  The LPT is mostly flat with only minor elevation changes.  Running on flat terrain is definitely the best thing for my achilles.  The splits for the 12 MP miles were: 6:50, 6:49, 6:49, 6:50, 6:53, 6:49, 6:49, 6:56, 6:57, 6:58, 6:56, 6:55.  You can see from the splits where I started to struggle.  My form really fell apart and I was really forcing the pace.  I felt like my fitness level had dropped and this run confirmed that.it has.  On the bright side, I had absolutely zero achilles pain during the run and it feels alright now.  Cooled down with 2 miles at 7:30/mile and I really felt the effects of hitting the wall during the MP miles.  It was a good hard run and I love the light headed feeling you get after finishing a run like that.

Total Time: 2:01:30 (7:09/mile)

WOW!!!! That is seriously a killer run!!! The fact that you had no achilles pain puts a huge smile on my face. :)

Nice job!!! :)

Enjoy your weekend.

Love the no pain part! I am sure you have not lost any fitness, and if you have it will come back so fast!

YAY for no achilles pain. I'm w/ Kathie! I assume you fuel and hydrate. The huge mileage build up over the last few days might have depleted some of the glycogen thus hitting the wall and light headedness at the end? GREAT run, Andy! Your training is solid!

Nice job. Glad it was leg-pain-free.
