5 miles at lunch on the Garland highway. I was taking it easy with the achilles today and started off at a 7:35 pace, but started running faster as the run went on. I was running 6:20 pace with little effort by the fourth mile. The last mile I decided to push a little and see where my achilles threshold pace was. I hit it at a 5:37 mile for the last mile. I could run that fast without much pain, but any faster was a bad deal. That is about the pace I can race at right now, kind of disappointing since that is more of a threshold pace for me instead of a Vo2 max pace. That is why I get out kicked by high school kids right now, my leg just can't take any more pressure than that. 33:10 for the run.
