Heat wave + no time to run during the day.  Did an evening TM workout in dank, humid basement.  3 mile warm-up and then 3.25 miles @ 6:27 pace (1 min break in middle for water).  Too humid to keep going.

Did 3.5 miles slowly on TM at home.

Ran 2 miles with my daughter in 16:30 and then did a 9.5 miles loop on my own.  Achilles were sore today- not good!  I'll need to run easy for a few days.

Achilles still sore...slogged 9.5 miles, 6 of them slowly through Whites Woods trails.  Hopefully this will go away soon.
