      That is so funny. On my post I was referring to the "cooler" 90 degree weather here as well. People in other parts of the country are probably looking at us sideways wondering what the heck we mean by "cool" lol

      You ever been diagnosed with any sort of achilles problem or tendinitis? Before I got orthodics I got a bout of achilles tendonitis. Felt like a dull pain along my heal that felt mostly like soreness, but flared up at times when it was at its worse to the point that it was hard to walk without experiencing soreness. Hopefully it isn't anything like that, and it is just something like our dress shoes, but I would go get it checked out if it keeps bugging you to be safe.

    Started to regain a spring in my step in the last couple miles of this run. Hopefully this is a sign of the swing back up. Any morning that you can get up and run is a good one.

    I really felt flat this entire run. Thought it was going to be just a slow warm-up, but the trudging continued until the end. Ah well. It was a gorgeous (humid) morning, and I feel great now.
