Lunch- back on the gravy train.  8 miles at lunch with a group of 8 runners.  Great weather.  Hips and achilles were a bit tender, but I can't complain.  Plan to ease back into running this week to get ready for my R2R2R next Monday.

Lunch- 8 on a cool, blustery day.  Hoped to go to Paris Mtn after work, but ended up not having time.  Tomorrow and Thursday, for sure.  I need dirt!

Lunch- 8 with the group.

PM- Paris Mountain.  I love this mountain- I've told Marci that if she cares about me at all, she'll make sure we buy a house near there (hint, hint, no pressure!).  Only me second trail run in 4 weeks, though the other one was a bit long.  Lots of hikers and bikers, including some bikers after dark wearing lights.  10 miles, 1700 ft climbing.  Unfortunately, the time off didn't help my Achilles- it hurt as bad as it did before the Bear, which is a bit annoying.  At least it doesn't hurt on flat runs.  It just has to get through the Grand Canyon, then I'll give it a bit of rest.

Lunch- 8.5 with Jim and Jason.  Felt rather achy with lots of niggles.  Scratched the evening run due to sore knees.
