I ran over to canal trail this morning and met Cody and Paul.  We did a nice easy run up Logan canyon on the river trail.  We went up most of single track before turning around and coming back.  Always good to run and visit with the guys. 

I have had a sore left achilles for the past week or so, and I could feel it pretty good in the first couple of miles.  I think it is coming from some nasty little knots that I found in my calf muscles last night.  I seem to get all of my tightness on my left side.  It might have something to do with past injuries to that side of my body, or I am extremely out of wack.  I might need to use my one hour massage (Father's day present from Allison) soon after Des News 10K to get me loosed up again. 1:37:33

James my goal for Bryce was sub 1:10. But with this little injury I've got I'm not sure what is going to happen. I still would like to be around 1:12 but you never know. I'm feeling pretty crappy so I'm not too pumped for the race.

Those guys will be going out fast and I'll try and hold on as long as my body will let me. The worst part is the faster the pace the more problems I have with this dumb thing.

I almost wish it was a whole marathon. Instead of a fast, pounding half.
