Late morning run after getting some things done and babying the achilles.  I also was waiting for some heat, so I can get used to it.  Went out for 3 miles and had a Boarder Collie dog attack me from behind and try to bite me twice.  The first time I side stepped his lunge and the second time I kicked him in the face.  The owner cam and got it and we had some words.  I better never see that dog again!  I haven't been attacked like that around here for a long time and I am pissed!   The achilles lossed up a bit the second haf of the run.  7:32 ave.

Riverton 5k today.  we got there late and there were a ton of people waiting for packets.  Got packets and put them in the car and the race started, so I started in the very backave me some time to get the achilles warmed up, but I was out of the racing.  Jaren did well though, and Allie ran too.  the race was long, over 3.3 and the 10k was a 9k.  6:35 for the ave of the race.  Just over 2 miles cooldpwn with Jaren, part of that was running out to find Allie.  8:31 ave for the cooldown, and 8:40 for the 1.2 miles warmr up.

Ran or limped up over Black Ridge from Butterfield to the res and back.  Tough and slow run, a lot of is because of the achilles. I should have ultrasounded before.  did the last 9/10s on the grass and the last .3 barefooted.  The grass was crazy long and swamped and I stepped on a hidden sprinkler box and went through it.  Feel blessed I didn't break my leg!  9:25 ave

Achilles had a rough day again.  I was pretty slow going the entire run.  Ran a mile barefooted on the grass at Rosecrest after, that was lower and rougher.  7:50 ave

Solo run late morning.  I was worried about today because the run yesterday was  abig one for me.  But I went out slow and wasn't as slow as a I thought I was.  The achilles started to loosen after a couple miles and I tried to focus on running as normal as possible.  7:32 ave.

30 minutes of yoga after.  It kicked my butt and wasn't fun, but felt good after.
