Wanted to run to City Creek today and check it out.  I felt much better today than Saturday energy-wise.  It was a fun, beautiful run. :)

  • 10 mles: 7 easy, 3 MP (walked every mile or so for one minute after the first 3 miles)

How is everyone liking this headwind today, eh?  Still running about a minute slower than my pre-injury paces, but I'm happy with the progress so far.

Today was the first day I ran 2 days back-to-back without any problems.  I figured it was OK because last night my achilles gave me NO niggles, even after my 10 mile run, 1/2 of it being uphill.  Usually I have to roll it a few times afterwards AND James has to do the marathon stick for about 15 minutes while we're watching TV at night for it to be OK.  I *almost* forgot that it was once injured! 

Planning on a good 10K race this Saturday at Spectrum. Hoping to get about 49:36 (8 min miles), but I'll do whatever the achilles wants to or doesn't want to do!  I'm mostly just running it to gaurantee my spot in the St. George marathon and...to watch some of my friends get amazing PR's!

This time is according to my Garmin, not sure what the official chip time is yet. It's a 8:14 avg mile pace, about 1 min 5 sec slower per mile than my last 10K.  To be honest, it felt like a half marathon!  My lungs have cobwebs! Considering the 2.5 months I had to take off running, I'm pretty happy with these results.  I only had to stop and walk once around mile 5.6 (and it was due to stomach issues, NOT achilles issues woot woot!).  I was on pace to get my goal of ~49 mins until the stomach issues hit, so that makes me feel even better.  Now I'm just excited to get going on some real training.  I'll use some caution, but I think I'll be able to start picking it up, especially next week or the next.

Good job everyone!  It has been so good to see you all!
