Very low motivation today. Really wasn't in the mood to run so I cut the planned 10 miles with 4 at LT to 9 miles with 3 miles at LT. Started with 3 easy miles then ran the 3 mile tempo run and finished with 3 easy miles. The tempo run started slow then picked up and I felt better as I warmed up. Splits were: 6:34, 6:18, 6:24. Both achilles tendons are on fire. They are not healing as fast as I expected them to. If I decide to follow an 18 week training schedule for St George then I need to get started on Monday. I think that I am going to only follow a formal training schedule for 12 weeks this time. Leading up to that, I will probably run 1 VO2 workout, 1 tempo run and 1 longer run (15-20 miles) per week with a couple of recovery runs and a general aerobic run thrown in.
Total Time: 1:06:21 (7:22/mile)
