• It seems that while the Achilles issue has mostly cleared up, the scar tissue on the bottom of my left foot remains a bit of a problem. My left foot was hamburger for a bit -- probably a result of running on it while the Achilles was still in a messed up state and hence jacked my stride.  As a result, I got some deep blisters under and behind the callous tissue that normally protect these scars.  This tissue remains pretty sensitive right now.  If anything, this is keeping me on the mill a bit more.  Not a huge issue as it is snowing right now pretty big here.  My biggest concern is that there is some sort of infection behind all the scar tissue ... that would really suck.
• 11 miles on the mill, 84 minutes.  Started at 10%, dropping 2% every mile until 0% (after five then).  Ran easy - but after doing the hill like that, 0% feels almost down hill.  First five were 45, last 6 were 39.  This was all pretty easy paced.  The pace started at just under 12 min a mile and built up ...
