I decided to give running a try today on the treadmill. We'll see tomorrow if I did any damage. Warmed up 1 mile on elliptical then did 10 miles on the treadmill at 0% incline to prevent straining my achilles. First 5 miles in 33 mins and last 5 in 27. Last 5 were 5:55:5:42,5:25,5:10,and 4:50. I was surprised that my breathing wasn't too labored until I dipped under 5. The short and hard intervals on the bike and stairmaster at threshold over the last couple of months must be helping my aerobic system. All is never lost.

PM: casual ~19 mile FLAT bike ride on the JRP and Legacy Parkway. Nice to ride a bike outside for a change.

Very nice Fritz. Perhaps we will see you tomorrow.

You are a beast Fritz! More than any other runner I know, when you are cross-training when injured, you are never far away from distance running greatness! Nice work. Hope the Achilles cooperates.

Keeping my fingers crossed. We miss you!

unreal. Sane sentiments from the guys above. Get well. I would say fast but your splits already said that.

Thanks guys. I am hopeful that I turned a corner with the Achilles. The true test will be running outside, yes, outside on a road. I could definitely use the vitamin D.
