Last 4 days or so have just been cross training sessions and strength training due to an achillies that's being stubborn, but today I managed 2 miles at 9 min pace w/out pain.  I'm enjoying this down time so it's kind of nice to have a good reaso not to be running right now.  Wasn't my original plan, but you gotta take what life throws your way and make the best of it!

PM:  2.17 miles @ 9 min avg pace on treadmill, did 30 minutes on the elliptical and  strength training.  Even though I'm running very low volume my time of working out in some capacity has been averaging just over 2 hours a day, which has helped me loose 7 lbs of flab! 

The achillies hasn't hurt the past two easy runs, so we'll keep it at 2 miles per day for the rest of the week and then increase to 3 miles if it's not getting aggravated anymore.

Lunch:  3 miles with zero locking and pain..  I changed up my stride to more of a heel strike and was able to run full weight through transition for the entire run without knee or achillies pain.
