Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
10.00	5.00	15.00

Progressive 14 miler with 1 mile cooldown. Thought I'd give it try. It seemed doable. Especially if you start out reeeallll slow (Burt try starting out at 15 minute miles, for sure you could do that!). Anyway had to slow myself down. I was worried I would run out of cushion for my last miles. I didn't want too many fast miles. It's not speed work day. I just wanted a MLR workout I would not get bored doing. It really got me anxious though. I didn't feel like running fast or slow. My achilles is starting to burn again. The shoes are the problem. I fantasize about pounding the heck out of them and running in comfy shoes again. At least all the pounding will be over before SGM. New shoe purchase probably going to happen in April before Ogden if I can hold out that long. Well here are my splits--oh yah I decided progressive runs are like the "speed of light", the faster you go the less progress you make, meaning the less change you notice like the speed of light when it (light) comes back to you the world hasn't really changed much (think Back to the Future). How's that for weird science? Splits: 9:40, 9:10, 8:58, 8:47, 8:33, 8:25, 8:12, 8:06, 7:50, 7:42 (pushed hard as there was a nice uphill out of lone peak park), 732, 7:25, 7:11, 6:45 and cooldown at 8:01. Obviously I had some gas in me as I improved my pace by 21 seconds from mile 13 to 14. Avg pace for 15 miles = 8:09. Should have gone for that 6:30 last mile that would have brought my avg to 8:03. Oh well. It was up hill and through my neighborhood and I love cooldowns. They work for my body. I think I like the progressive workout. I will eventually start out quicker and finish stronger sometime when I am in the mood.

Nice progressive run with a super finish! I hear achilles are a real pain to heal and rehab if they get too angry so maybe you should get some new comfy shoes now!
