16 miles with Janae and Amber, 7:45 pace. My achilles started to 'twinge' a bit around mile 14 so I backed off the pace and let the ladies fly. :) Fun run with friends.
I was supposed to run the buffalo 50 miler but I decided to drop. I've never really DNS a race before that I can remember. I'm an idiot and will basically run through any sort of pain/illness because my braincells are wired incorrectly. But, but, but this achilles thing has kinda scared me straight. I cannot afford a long term stay in a psychiatric facility if I blow up my achilles. To be honest the achilles feels pretty good good and my left calf is becoming massive! Amazing what some good scraping, a bazillion heel lifts, and throwing away my altra's can do.
I made the right choice and I'm sure the buffalo will forgive me.
