If I define MP as anything under 4:00 pace, then I did three-fourths of today's run at sub MP. We got out there and hammered it. Lia was Lia, cruising along at 9:00 pace, Jessi and Rose right there with her. On all three loops, I got behind them and then made up the time and then some. Jessi beat me on the last loop, otherwise I beat everybody else. I guess I'm in better shape than I thought. Now to taper and sharpen for Corndog City. I feel like sub 4 should be a given with a good taper and good strategy.

Monday was a scheduled rest day, but I would have taken it off anyway with tender right Achilles, cropped up at about 16 miles of Sunday's run. So I went out early this morning with Lia to test it. It did fine. There were some other niggles, but the AT behaved itself. All in all, a good 6.7 at 9:33 pace. Nice start to the new year. Do this run every day for a year, I'll be very bored, but I'll also have 2400+ miles.

UPDATE: Got to work, started walking around the hospital, and the AT starts acting up. Not as bad as it was Sunday afternoon, but still sore. Think Wednesday becomes a rest day. I'm supposed to meet with Kathy M. Thursday night, so may hafta run Thursday morning. Or maybe take off Thursday too. Need to get this under control now.

Intervals at SHS in the new Adios shoes. Went OK, after three days off to rest the Achilles.
