I was up at 6 this morning and then out the door by 6:15 and I headed out to GU Corner and then down into the river bottoms, I stopped and talked to my brother SimmBad for a few and then headed on my way. After hitting my 5 mile mark I turned and headed for home, I stopped at GU corner and fueled up and then was on my way back to the house. After I got to the house I got a drink and then went back out for 3.10 miles more but I kept the pace very easy, average pace for that run was 8:44,  with total time being 27:06. For the first 10 miles the pace was up beat I had 6 of the miles that were 8 or sub 8 and then rest were sub 8:20, so my average pace for that portion was 8:00 even with the total time being 1:20:24. After the run and some stretching I jumped on the elliptical for 25 minutes at a moderate to hard pace and that was it for the day. My achillies started to tighten up after about 5 miles and was pretty much there for the rest of the run, I rolled it pretty good with the stick so hopefully I can get it worked out...

See ya Monday.
