AM: 5 miles. Felt really loose and good.

PM: went pretty slow but I wasn't like jumping off the walls with energy. It's ok. 3 strides. 

My new shoes felt great, and this was a great way to welcome them in! The workout felt very easy. The last one I went a little harder than I should have, but Isaac didn't want me to speed it up at all, and I felt like I could have gone under 2:10 if I really needed to, so it ended up somewhere in the middle. It was supposed to be 3 minutes rest, most were at least 3:30 rest though. We did mile, 800, mile, 800, 800: (4:55ish, 2:17, 4:54, 2:17, 2:13). Felt good enough to do weights!!! I could've done a lot more if I kept the pace where it had been before. 

Ran 10 miles nice any easy in the rain at Kiwanis. Earlier it was feeling a little tender but I felt good during the run. 

Over the past few seasons, one thing has remained constant. Regardless of how fast I am, there will be workouts that go well and workouts that don't. I suppose I could be a world record holder and I would probably still have the same experience. However, I am suspicious that nearly all of my Thursday workouts don't go super fast (with the exception being last Thursday when my workout was in the morning). I need to consider not doubling on Thursday in my opinion. Today I thought I was ready for 4 miles in 20 minutes. I hit mile 1 in 4:59 feeling fine. But I started feeling more tired through mile 2. I turned around at 10 and didn't get back till 15:17 (leading me to believe that I ran something like 5:05 and 5:17, but that is just speculation without a marker). Last mile I was redlining and only ran 5:23. That was pretty bad. Oh well. 

Carterville... Decided not to do 12 or strides since I felt my Achilles a little bit still. 

And that's a cap to the week. My Achilles felt alright. I ended up feeling tired at the end even though I was only averaging like 6:05s but that's ok. I actually started out pretty fast and overall I sort of gradually slowed down...yea.
