AM- 6.5. Shoes are retired.  Actually, maybe I'll give them one more easy 4-miler just to hit the 500 mark.

PM- Let's see if Cody can figure this one out: ALP-MOP-C-FD-C-ALP.  7:30-7:45 pace on the 5 miles out, 7:00-7:15 pace on the 4.5 miles back.  9.5 miles in 1:10:06.

This makes 3 days in a row that I have gotten up at 4 am to run. It must be the high-mileage time of the year. Unfortunately, I am not getting to bed until 10:30-11:30 pm. Yes, I am dead tired right now.  Dead Tired.  But for some reason, I still woke up about 5 times last night, which is very rare for me.

Jon - hows the achillies? I have a sample of kinesio tape I could send you if you think your willing to try it.

Anyone who gets up that early in the morning to run has a strong desire to want to prove himself. Good luck the rest of the day.

Kory- Achilles is ok, not as good as I would like. Still tight, esp. when running uphill. I'm icing a lot to see if it slowly gets better. If there isn't improvement in a week or two, I may ask for that tape. Thanks for the offer.
