49:50. I took it easy, running up near the new Parade of Homes Development about 1.5 miles north of my house. I felt a little twinge in my left achilles tendon halfway through the run, while going up hills, so I decided to take it even a little slower. I might just have been psyching myself out, as a couple of days ago I ate dinner with a guy who was wearing a cast because he had hurt his achilles heel by running too much.

Bryan,

It was probably an omen. You did the right thing.

Oh, I'm not really that superstitious but it's always good to listen to what your body is telling you.
