Nice run today at lunch. It is funny how after St. George my cardio is awesome but my legs feel like they haven't run in a year. I usually start to run some fast training runs after a couple of weeks and feel good again then completely stop and take 5 months off. This year I hope to start running faster but not stop for the winter. My legs are still dead feeling but my body has been iching to go for a couple of days. My left achilles has been stiff and sore since the marathon so I am trying to be careful with that, but today I let my body do what it felt like doing. I started off at a 7:38 mile and progressed the rest of the run. The next mile was 6:46, then 6:39, 6:29, and 5:54. Total time was 33:30 for the five miles. It felt so good to let my body get back into a marathon pace mile, and it is beautiful today on top of that. Great run! I love this time of year so I am trying to take advantage of it before winter comes.
