I ran the gully long run, my achilles started hurting after the big road hill. I went to the doctors today and he said that the pain on the front of my ankle is the joint. So whatever that is, joint or tendon, it is hurting a lot right now. The two combined have influenced me to make a decision of probably not running tomorrow. I made a PR in the gully! 43:10, and I was taking it easy once my ankle started hurting so I probably could have run low 42 or maybe even just under 42. Kramer got a 37!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am feeling a lot better, my ankle only hurt for a couple of seconds on that 10 mile run.
