10 miles on my hilly Highland Drive route. My legs are super tired from Saturday. Ugh. I was not fast! I saw some CRAZY Utah driving... I saw one guy tailing another guy super close, the front car stopped, the guy tailing slammed on his breaks, they both got out of their cars and starting punching each other. Then I had a few cars almost hit me because apparently my super bright neon yellow jacket isn't visible enough? 7:24 AP.

8 miles around my neighborhood. My right Achilles is hurting. I'll have to assess how it feels as the day goes on. I might end up spinning tomorrow.

75 minute spin this morning. I decided to play it safe. My achillies is still a little sore. I just don't want to make things worse by forcing a run on it. I'll try an easy, flat run tomorow and see how it holds up. I gotta be smart right now!

My Achillies didn't hurt! Thank you God! I ran easy and flat. But I'm SUPER happy that I could run today. 7:28 AP.

7 miles with my good friend Jen. She lives in China but is in town for a while. It was nice to run with an old friend!

20 miles with James on the parkway (so fun!). We ran 10 miles south then 10 miles back north.  I felt ok but towards the end, I was ready to be done. We pushed it the last few miles and kept it under 7:00 pace. James is becoming a super strong runner and he is definitely pushing me these days. I'm glad I got to run with him. 7:07 AP.
