5.1 miles in 39:09.
I am finding that my achilles is taking longer to warm up at the beginning of my runs than it used to, especially when I run hard the day before. I don't feel any soreness, and I don't feel particularly fatigued, but the achilles feels tight, and tends to take about a mile or two to get stretched out. As a result my run started out pretty slow again today and I went through the first quarter mile in close to 9:00 pace, and only ran the first mile in 8:10, even though I was running downhill for most of the second half mile. During the last quarter mile of the run I did a short pick-up just to get my legs moving a little faster.
