After Monday's 4.59.10. mile I was hopeful of building upon that today.
There'd be no "walking across hot coals"as there was on Monday,conditions couldn't have been more opposite as today conditions were much cooler w/ the hint of rain under grey skies when I arrived at Franklin Field at 4.15pm.
After 15 minutes of stretching I conducted my warm up mile,I knew nothing short of a 4.57 mile today given the difference in conditions would be good enough for me.
1.13.for the opening lap,once again it was a strong opening lap as I continue to work my way back to pre injury splits.
2.30.at 800m a 1.17.split,these are the kind of splits I'll be looking for when I begin to go in search of my 4x1 mile repeats in the coming weeks.
3.46.at the bell,an impressive 1.16. split,so much for my recent third lap woes!!
4.55.08.and a 69 second last lap.
As is my won't I was miffed w/ that 69 second last lap,having thrown in a 76 second lap on lap three I may've taken a little off of my closing lap but that aside c'mon it's a 4.55.08.mile three weeks into my return from injury!!!
The achilles feels fine,I spent another 15 minutes stretching after my mile cool down and 20 minutes of icing when I got home,tomorrow will not be my last day of physical therapy after all,Allison and I agreed to another four weeks of strengthening my achilles which can only benefit me in the long run.

Great news, Kevin! Too bad for me I don't even think I could run 4:55in a race, let alone solo! Several months ago, 4:55 would have felt good. Now it would feel like hell.
Delve,thanks for the props.
How's your injury?I hope it's healing and that you too will be back out there cranking out some good workouts b4 too long.
