It's a brand new week and a the last month before my third marathon.  Started out with 4.65 miles in the rain.  I think the freezing weather is over.  Pace started out slower than normal, but overall, I averaged 8:45/mile.

Family is in Arizona and so I'm kind of on my own schedule this week.  No excuses for missing runs.

Achilles tendonitis is bothering me again. That's why I missed yesterday's run and ran slowly today.  Hope it gets better in time for Saturday's run.

Had a good group running our 18 miler today. 4 youth and 3 adults ran the distance.  One youth made 15 miles and another got through 5.  I started hurting a lot after 16 and slowed down quite a bit.  Hopefully I didn't overdo it.
