Notes

Well this just sucked... Felt ok on the wamup, but hadnt been able to run at all the past 3 days due to a really messed up right achillis following last Sunday's long run. Thought I was going to be fine in the warmup... even did all my strides feeling good. Gun goes off and I went out to get into the top 20 right off the bat, felt great through the mile in like 5:17... after a mile and a half the breathing was getting tougher and I was just willing myself to stay in the game... then a little twinge of the achillis.... then really bad twinging... so I just shut it all down... and jogged in... after the race, I could barely walk. Stretched, iced and took it easy. Went out in Keene with Casey, his girlfriend, Josh, his girlfriend and Najem... went to the nuche and the Brewery, stayed over at Josh's farmhouse in VT in my tent. Next day went out and did some fun cliff jumping. Just like the good ol days. My achillis is messed up though... Try to run again on Wednesday. Alumni 2nd overall to MIT by 9 pts.... I could have changed that result.... We did beat the Keene team though.
