I ran solo at noon today from my house. I only went 4 miles, but managed to average under 8:00/mi (7:58/mi) for the first time in a while.

My left Achilles is still bothering me a little...no better, no worse. I keep forgetting to treat it regularly because it only starts bothering me a few miles into a run and doesn't bother me after. I guess when it matters enough I'll do something about it. Running hasn't been much of a priority for me recently...and that's okay.

This is certainly the time of year when you get pulled in a lot of different directions. You just do the best you can. Hope you're liking your new job. I'm more than a little sad that you're so close now and we still haven't had a chance to go for a run or for lunch (I was gone most of last week and have been kind of buried at work), but things are starting to look better. They've asked to start working from home four days a week and just come in on Tuesdays for meetings, but we're trying to arrange it so that we come in on Tuesday and Thursday morning and go home for lunch. I was thinking that that would work out a lot better for noontime runs. I'd just bring my running clothes and drive home afterwards to shower. Anyway, drop me a line when you get a minute. If running doesn't work out at least we could get together for a little lunch (my treat).
