8M in 58:02 to Dobbs Ferry and back.  Ran at high noon.  Weather was 80, sunny, and comparatively dry.  Pace felt easy and was very even the whole way.

Legs felt slightly lethargic.  Before the run, I soaked my Achilles in a bucket of the hottest water I could stand for about 15 minutes to try to loosen them up.  It seemed to help, as they were a little less stiff than usual and didn't really hurt during the run.  What was a little sore, though, was my right forefoot.  I am sure this is from running fast Monday wearing my Cumulus, which seem to have zero or possibly negative forefoot cushion.  This has happened before, and one of these days I'll learn.  If the foot is sore today, it will really be sore after tomorrow, when I run a 5k on hilly trails wearing 15-year-old Waffle flats...
