Ran with Mark on our normal Monday route. My achilles on my left leg was really bothering me. Just hasn't stopped being sore to painful since early last week. We warmed up easy and ran overall pretty conservative.

I slept in this morning getting the first 8 hours + sleep I've had in I can't remember when. I decided to let my body get some more rest before I go back out an put more pressure on it. My achilles on both legs are now bothering me.

Tonight I started out around a 9 min plus pace. I thought if I could warm up gently or slowly enough I could avoid any pain o discomfort.  This worked for about 3 miles. The rest of the run was painful and uncomfortable. I just tried to keep running comfortably and focus on form.

The night, however, was beautiful. The bay was slick calm and though the moon was fairly new, it cast moon light all over the slick, calm bay. This was the kind of night I wished Tracey could see.

I've decided to take the rest of the week off to let my achilles recover.  They just don't seem to be healing. I'm going to ice every day and do about 2 hours on the bike Saturday.
