Achilles really sore this evening. Had to keep the pace super slow, but it still hurt.

Neighborhoods + treadmill - 33:15

I ran 12 minutes outside but my achilles hurt too bad, so I came inside and stretched/watched some TV. A bit later I finished up with 20+ minutes on the treadmill super, super slow. Achilles felt better once warmed up and stretched out.

10 minutes of core/weights post run

1 mile warmup; 4 miles steady; 2 miles warmdown

Did some stretching/core work before the run to try to loosen up; it may have helped. Jogged to the track and attempted a 4 mile progression run. Goal was to cut down each half mile, and I succeeded. First decent run in a while. Felt really good to not be in extreme achilles pain. Splits of 3:18, 3:14, 3:13, 3:09, 3:07, 3:03, 2:59 and 2:54

Run to St. Al's - 29:45

In the dark (and rain). Tired, but left my car at St. Al's so I had to go retrieve it. Did 3 x 1:00 easy pickups on the way in the 5:50's range.

Pioneer Cabin - 2:05

Epic run/hike. Probably not the greatest running trail in the world, especially for my fitness level, but you can't beat the views. Here's a shot from the top I pulled off google. Amazing views of some 12,000' peaks in the Pioneers.

The trailhead is about 8 miles from Sun Valley. Every time I'm in Sun Valley I forget how amazing that place is. I started the run at about 1:30 p.m., and the day was warm, but not too bad. The trail climbs from 7,000' to 9,500' at the cabin in about 4 miles. I had to hike several steep or rocky spots and reached the cabin in 52 minutes. Gorgeous at the cabin - just a perfect day.

I took another trail back down (Long Gulch) which proved to be pretty technical in a couple of spots. Definitely some hiking going down. Had a stretch where I thought I lost the trail and had to double back almost a mile, but then got things squared away and made it down.

Got a trail map of the area and wished I was here for a month. Hundreds of trails all within short drives.
