Decided to slowly work my way back to hard workouts, starting with this workout.

Mile splits: 7:17, 5:53, 7:00, 5:49, 7:00, 5:35, 6:44.

On the three faster miles I just wanted to be under 6 minutes. 

The workout was felt easy, as it should have.  The calf felt good.

Not anything to get excited about yet, but definitely good progress. I haven't made any decisions about St. George yet I'll just take things week by week and make a decision at the end of December. How is your achilles doing?

Achilles has put me out of commission right now. Havent ran since Monday and I am in a walking boot for another 3 or 4 days. So hopefully I can resume running next week. But it is still pretty sore so not getting to hopeful.
