Larry had a seminar and couldn't run this morning, so I opted to run at lunch instead when I thought the weather might be a little warmer and the roads a little less slippery. I think it was a good decision. It wasn't too cold and the roads were in pretty good condition. I ended up running a loop starting east over to State St., north on Slate Canyon Drive to 300 South, west to University Ave. (dropping to 400 South along the way), then south over the bridge and back to Novell. I didn't have my Garmin but I measured it at about 6.3 miles on Google Earth. I was planning to average a pace between 8:15 and 8:30. I finished in 53:00 even which is about 8:25/mi. Good enough. No aches or pains to speak of. I can tell the Achilles is still not 100%, but it finally seems to be improving.
