I ran 5 miles this morning before work. I’ve been resting my achilles the last few weeks. I’ve avoided hills & speedwork and I’ve run a slower pace. Today’s run was at a faster pace and I felt pretty good. I’m not back to 100% yet, but I’m getting there.

I read this book in a couple of days. I would definitely recommend it. You can read more about it and watch a short video from the author here. Check your local library!
I ran two out and backs this weekend–both runs were from my house to Veterans park. We’ve had such a mild and rainy June that I haven’t acclimated to the Summer heat yet. The temperature was in the 80s for both runs. I took along my ultimate direction 2 bottle waistpack. I drank out of the bottle filled with G2 and I used the bottle filled with water to cool myself off. My pace for Saturday’s 7 mile run was uneven and I stopped a couple of times to cool off. For today’s 6 mile run, I ran an even pace and felt much better.
