Greenbelt + Quarry View Park- 1:13

Ran from Americana upstream, and headed into Quarry View Park to do a few laps on the junior high xc course (rocky trails and grass). The kids hate this course, although it's not really too tough. Lots of small rollers, but slow because of the rocky terrain and grass, which usually isn't clipped too short. Part of the reason it's unpopular with the team is because it's always the first meet and nobody is in shape yet.

Anyway, the run was good. I started at 8 p.m. so it wasn't too hot. My achilles hurt but not enough to stop me, just enough to feel it every step. Averaged 7:17 pace which wasn't too bad with 2.6 miles in the park.

Looks like we're pretty similar runners. Thanks for the link and good luck with your achilles too. I'm really hoping that if I back off the interval work for a few weeks that I can turn the corner on this.
