Most of it solo, but the last part with Emily. Right at twilight. Nice evening, but achilles hurt the whole way.

Easy 3 miles with Emily. Achilles hurt at 10:30 pace just as bad as 7:00 pace. That's kind of weird.

Also biked 4.5 miles down to the greenbelt.

A.M. - 10 minutes elyptical; 40 minutes weights; 15 minutes biking home (3 miles)

P.M. - Canal Banks + neighborhoods - 35:23 Wore my new Brooks that I won in Newport. They are very stiff but seem to work OK and not irritate my achilles too much. I ran the last 3 miles under 7 min pace and that was a bit of a chore right now!

P.M. II - Downtown Boise - 23+ Well, this was actually an early A.M. Wednesday run, technically (1 a.m.). I just got done watching a concert downtown and ran around the city in the dark. It was kind of nice, and luckily I had a pair of shoes that were kind of designed for running. No, I wasn't being chased by the police. I got a chorizo with sauerkraut when I was done from a street vendor.

Greenbelt - 51:16

Hot run this afternoon, but not too bad as I had a little shade by the river. Averaged 7:18/mile pace, which wasn't too bad. I think this was my longest run in a month! Did a couple of pickups in the 6:20 range during the last mile. Achilles not too bad, so that's a good sign.

P.M. - 4 miles easy biking with Emily

Achilles didn't loosen up much at all today, so I took it off from running. I have been doing some eccentric strengthening exercises and some calf work at the gym, so that could contribute to it.

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 45:01

Ran at 2 p.m. at a medium pace (averaged 7:30). I wore my lighter training shoes and they felt snugger and actually pretty good on the achilles. I'm willing to try anything at this point and time, and maybe a less beefy shoe is better.
