Borah track - 28+

Pushed the girls in the double stroller to the track and back, then did a mile in about 7:30 while down there. Super tired and no energy this afternoon.

Walked for a couple of miles with the family from Evil Kinevil's ramp along the Rim Trail. Then after Nora fell asleep in the BOB, Emily and I jogged back and forth on the trail for a couple of miles. Another beautiful warm day in Twin Falls.

Left achilles was sore so I had to keep the pace slow. It was a nice, cool evening out and I enjoyed the run, but I'm worried about the achilles.

Achilles got worse throughout run - really bad by the end. Too bad, this would be a great place to run. Looking at some time on the bike I think

Easy jog in the new Hokas to test out how my achilles felt. It was managable for a short run. Will try another one tomorrow. Hokas are a trip...

Jog at twilight. Achilles felt pretty decent.
