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)
