Agony

September 8, 2008 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Warm, light breeze, overcast (dust)

Comments:
First real long run. Got lucky on the wx--sandstorm left visibility to <2mi, made it overcast; light breeze. Ran w/Camelbak and GPS. Up at 0600, shower and shave, stretched in front of TV--running by 0815.

Route: Barracks-DFAC 3-Ripper-ADAG-tower road-right to the wadi-E to the track-NE to barracks.

Rough; periodic short walks. Left achilles acting up DURING the run, not just at the beginning. Legs felt fatigued and hurting at about 6 miles. Hope not to have and serious, lasting aches & pains--want to jump start my distance program. The next 2 days will tell.
