Midweek run on bike path

Today Andrew, Justin, Anthony and I headed out to the bike path for our midweek run. Since I have a 16 miler planned for my long run on Saturday, today's plan was to go eight miles. My right achilles has been sore (and painful to touch) these last few weeks - in talking with an old friend of mine who is a PT, he gave me some tips. One was to stretch (which I never did before). So with two runs since Hyannis and two stretching sessions pre and post runs - my achilles has been better. Im sure the 800mg of ibuprofen has helped too.

I felt really good during today's run even during the 5.2 miles I did on my own. I was a little worried that when they turned around at the three mile mark that my pace would suffer - but it didn't.
