No run today.  Crazy day at school, and class tonight.  Plus, my achilles was extra sore all weekend so I figured an extra day off might help.

No run again today.  I am not that hurt I just wanted to see what would happen if I take 3 days off.  I am hoping it will help so that I don't have to take more time off.  I guess if I end up taking a week off sometime that is okay, but I would rather not.

I went on an easy run around noon today.  I had the day off, which was much needed, and I had plenty of time to run.  I went out south on the canal trail for 3,5 miles and then came back.  I took it really easy and even stopped and stretched a couple of times.  The achilles is still tender, but it was much better than it has been in weeks, maybe I should have taken another day or so off.  I let it go in the last half mile of the run and openned up to about a 5:30 pace on hilly trail.  It felt good, and I am hoping that I continue to feel better.  It is amazing what three days rest can do for you.

We stayed the night in American Fork with my twin sister Becki, so I got up and ran with her today.  It was in the low 20s when we left this morning so we bundled up good.We went on a 5 mile loop around the east side of AF that went around the high school and Temple.  It was fun to run with Becki since I have never done it before.  She is way out of shape but we still ran 8:30 pace on a hilly course. 

I dropped her off at the end and ran up the mountain into PG.  I went passed where Marc Sanderson lives and up to the canyon then turned around and came back.   For my last four miles I was running in the low 6:00s and averaged 7 minute pace for the 8 miles.  I felt good and had a good run and enjoyed the cool Holiday.  This was the only run I have done longer than 8 miles since I ran with Logan a week or so before trials.  My Achilles was sore to the touch after the run but it never bothered me the whole run.  This is the only run since St. George that I have run without pain, and it sure was nice!  1:39:12

No run today.  I had zero problems with my achilles on my run yesterday but it was way sore today.  I can't figure this injury out, and it is beyond annoying now.

Late morning run before the BYU vs.Utah game.  I went out on the canal trail to the south of Willard and back.  It took a while to get going and warmed up but once I did the achilles wasn't too much of an issue today, but I could still feel it on the steep uphill portions.  I took it easy and was just glad to get out today. 

Watched the game after the run and stretched out good.  I thought BYU was going to blow it again, but they got lucky on 4th and 18.
