Total Distance
4.50

Planned a nice easy 5-6 miles as my last run before racing on Saturday.  At 2.5 miles my left achilles exploded... well, thats kinda what it felt like at first.  Flat, straight, level trail with no rolling of ankle or anything - very strange.  Walked for a while and then walked/ran back to the jeep.  Iced it and will see how it goes tomorrow - likely a race morning decision to run or not - bummer.

Achilles problems are no good. Very little blood flow to tendons so they are slow to heal. Take it easy!

It actually feels fine now - iced it again this morning and have been off it all day. I will head to the race and run around a bit before the gun - see how it feels then. No big plans to set any records for this 10K or nuttin anyway - just a fun race I havent run in a decade.
