Hump Day Run

I got out to run a couple hours later than I planned; this work thing keeps getting in the way. I was somewhat concerned that I didn't fuel up enough for the run put it turned out fine.

Before heading out, I looked over my lunch routes over the past couple of months to find something close to 7 miles, today's distance per my training plan. I found something right under 7 that included the Nature Trail and only one major intersection crossing so I decided to run that route. The route also has 3 water fountains which definetely came in handy today. I actually added a 4th water fountain and a little mileage to get me to 7 by going to Creekside Park once I got out of the Nature Trail.

My left Achilles has been somewhat gimpy all week so I was concerned about it. It didn't hurt at all the last couple of miles and was barely noticeable earlier in the run so thats great news. With a mile to go I realized I have completed 1/2 of my mileage planned for the week; 17 out of 34 miles are now in the books!!!!!
