40 degrees, so headed out and did the "Pie Hill" course- very steep hills:  1 mile warm-up, 400 x 22 (anywhere from 5:30 pace to 7min depending on placement of hill- .25 jog between), and 1.5 mile "cooldown"- 13.5 miles total. 

6 more on the TM @ 8:40 pace.

8 miles on the TM @ 9min pace- my achilles is a little sore from Monday's workout.  Need to keep a close eye on it.

70 degrees out!  Plan was to attempt 20-miles, yet part way through I knew my achilles wouldn't be able to handle it.  Ran very hilly course and completed the first 9 miles just a tad bit over 7min pace (Morris route).  Ducked into the woods, hoping my achilles would do well on the trails- think it would have, but there was still too much ice around.  Pulled back out on the road and completed my run with 15 miles under my belt.  Might add 5 later tonight if I'm feeling ok.
