26:06 ==> 7:55 pace. I'm back, hopefully. I was running a lot during the fall and early winter, but apparently too much. My achilles started to hurt and it has been aching a little ever since. I'm not certain it's back to 100% yet, but it feels pretty good, and I'm supposed to run the St George marathon in a few months, so I need to get running. I'm definitely out of running shape. It's a little frustrating to be starting all over again. During the past 6 months, I have run maybe 5 times. However, I have a hard time just sitting around and letting my achilles rest. I've been playing ultimate frisbee for a couple of hours once a week and I've been biking about 30 miles per week. I plan to take it easy. It is my opinion that my injury came about because I was putting in too many miles without rest. I kept doing 7 mile days back to back to back to back. I hope to stagger the distances and cross train a little more.
