8:56 AM. Long Run.
Went out with the idea of just running super easy. i.e. prescribed long run pace...and I did at first. Admiralbly. But when I hit the long flat section, I saw my pace creeping down. Not having enough self-control to reel it back in, nor any pain in my Achilles, I let it roll. The second half is hilly, so the pace went up and down with the ups and downs. Not as fast as the last few times I ran, but not a slow jog either. It was fun.
Had the Marine Corps song in my head this morning. Used it to keep the breathing at a comfortable level.
Achilles was a little sore/tight for the first 8 minutes, but gone after that. Really only noticeable on the downhills. I may be able to get back to regular training this week...but for what???
