9 miles

I ran 9 mi at 9:27 min/mi today. My Achilles were both sore so I decided not to run 11 mi or a 3 mi tempo at 9:17. My prime objective is to avoid injury caused by the increase in stress from going up to Vdot 43. I will only run easy 5, 7 and 11 mi runs in the next four days before I backpack into the Holy Cross Wilderness next weekend.
