I met Allie and James on the Jordan River Trail for an out and back run. The plan was to run out to Gardner Village and back. The trail was closed about a mile before Gardner Village. We tried to climb over the barrier and continue the run, but a humorless construction worker insisted that we turn back. So, we ran back to the beginning and then another 3/4 of a mile out.

I felt pretty comfortable through 10-11 miles. The last 4-5 got a little tough. I was definitely feeling yesterday's workout. We started getting a little faster and popped off 6:40-6:50 miles for the last 4 miles. It was nice to run hard, but I was very happy to be done. It was so nice to have running partners. It made the miles fly by to have someone to talk to! Now to baby my achilles and calf, because they are not happy.

"humorless construction worker" ha! good description. i think it would have been fun to make her chase us down. but we were obedient runners today (somewhat) :)

Great run! Sounds like we have a similar problem in the achilles. I'm giving mine some love today too.
