Easy and very slow on Eric's trail.  My right quad and left achilles are sore tight and sore.  I think this was the first run in a year that I actually limped worse because of sometings besides my achilles.  Hopefully it will get the process of recovery spead up a bit.  9:38 ave

Ran from behind the kids at first.  Super tight right quad still, and the achilles is always tight at first, regardless.  Ran 5 miles from Rose Crest and back and then .5 barefooted on the grass.   The grass running hurts still.  The run was much better than yesterday and I did get faster as I went, 7:36 ave for the 5 miles and 8:43 for the grass .5.  8:36-7:05

Yellow Fork today.  The achilles was not having it this morning, so I took up the back and, startd about 5 minutes back and then stayed there.  The goal was to get the majority of the kids up Gun Slinger and Moon Ridge (Old Varsity hill).  I eneded up playing sheeep dog and hurding them up to the top.  We did have a kid leave the trail and wonder away in the mists of darkness, but he made it back in the end.  Gun Slinger was more of a hike, didn't run too much, the achilles was jsut being so stupid!   Sloweest I have ever done the run.  Alot of the Snake (now Yellow Butter) was washed out, it was more like a ditch.  11:41 ave

Ran nice and slow on the parkway in Riverton.  the achilles was pretty bad today.  Most of the kids wussed out and went short, I was the only one that went the whole run.  Sad!

7:48 ave

Ran on Pipeline trail with Jaren, a couple of the other boys, some of the varsity girls, and Lucy.  I was in the back most of the time.  Between the achilles and the tight knee on the other side, I am an old cripple.  Went very slow, 8:44 ave..  Actually tripped and fell and smacked my right elbow and phone, the phone I am trading in in two days.  Nothing bad.  A rare fall for me, only my 3rd ever.
