Ran on the mill. Did 1.5 warm up then 4.5 straight at tempo pace. My splits were 7:17, 7:08, 7:08, 7:08, and the last 800 was at 6:45 pace. My achilles is feeling alot better. This is my first tough workout since a week ago. Hopefully it will keep improving so that I can still train hard. The marathon is in two months now! 

Woke up early and did 6x800s today at the track. This is my first fast workout since my acilles has been hurting about 2 weeks ago. Achilles took a little bit to warm up and felt better after the first two intervals. Then I didn't feel it at all during the workout-and now after it hurts. (I'm very annoyed!!) Anyway-I did my 800s with a 400 jog in between each (approx 3 minutes rest) My times were 3:02, 2:58, 3:00, 3:00, 2:57, 2:55. I felt pretty good-besides my achilles-don't know what to do about training because the marathon is a little less than two months and now is the time to do my major training. I feel like it is only slightly injured right now-but I don't want it to turn into a major injury and I still want to run the marathon. Anyone with ideas?? 

Did a long run today of 15.25. Did a loop and then finished the last 4-5 miles at the track. Did not feel good today at all. My achiles was bugging me the whole time and the calf on the other leg was so tight-tried stretching it but it would not loosen up. My legs felt like bricks at the end of my run. (was planning on going 16-18 miles-but due to my legs only did 15) Went home and iced and took a hot bath. (they felt a little better after that)

Average pace was 7:52
