Tonight I decided it's time to give it another try. My achilles has felt so much better these last couple of days I didn't want to risk damaging it again so close to the race. I started out at a shuffle and just gradually eased the pace down. My AT felt perfect for the first half mile. Slowly the soreness returned. I tried to focus on breathing comfortably, short verticle strides, and soft foot strike. My pace gradually felt less labored and more groove like. Though uncomfortable I felt like could get on one of these paces and just cruise for twenty miles or so. The splits were: 8:17; 7:49; 7:56; 7:57
