Running progress
Ran 5 miles at moderate 8:24 min/mile pace in 42 minutes, followed by walking cooldown, along decomposed granite shoulder of bike trail.
This was my longest run by far since August. Achilles tendon held up O.K. I took some ibuprofen, iced it, and massaged it afterward. It doesn’t hurt or feel swollen, leaving me cautiously optimistic about my ability to restart running by the beginning of 2008, with an eye on running a 5K by mid-spring. I just have to be very careful.

Congrats on your run! I’m just coming off an achilles tendinosis injury (actually, re-injury) myself, so I can definitely understand about being careful on it. Hope your 5k works out!

Great run, be careful, and take an take a day off tomorrow. 8:24 miles is a smokin’ pace for a "moderate" run. Good luck
