Labor Day's Effort

My approach of 10 on Saturday, day off on Sunday and a longer run on Monday worked out well. Yesterday I ran 12 mile and felt pretty good. The Achilles is back to 100%, but the calluses on my feet need to be worked back. I never thought I'd say this, but my feet were a little sore building back the calluses. Otherwise the 12 mile effort felt good. I did the first 10 averaging 6:37. The leg turn over was good and the breathing was right where I wanted it to be. I can tell, though, that I don't have the mileage base. By mile 10 I started to hit a wall. At that time I decided to turn the watch off and cruise in the last 2 miles.

So, now I need to get some longer miles in and see what I can salvage for the 4th.
