8 easy afternoon miles. Dont feel super ready for Des News on thursday but I will be there one way or another 

Des news marathon. Not quite how I planned having it go. Will go into details later. Keeping it short. Finished in 3:43 no excuses or regrets. I finished what I set out to do. 

Ok so here goes. Not making excuses I am not that way. Thursday I ran the Des News marathon, knowing I was not at my best since I had been having issues with Achilles/ heel pain for the last two weeks or so. Nevertheless I had signed up and I am not a quitter. I went out at long run pace figuring I would keep going as long as things held up. 
All was good until mile 18 or so when my Achilles tightened up worse than ever. Determined to finish I opted for a run/walk program for the final 8 miles finishing at 3:43not my best but a definite test of will and mental toughness for me. So after the race I have been hobbling around. Today I changed my plan of attack. I went to the gym for 45 min of spin then into the pool for 40 min swim. After I got out of the pool I felt much better. So much so that I was tempted to run and make a tri day out of it but thought better of it. Not wanting to set myself back further. So it will go for the next bit until I can get back at it full steam. Who knows I may be a tri person after all is said and done. 

70 min bike rife on the JRP

One hour elliptical this afternoon then 44 min swim tonight
