my left achilles was still hurting but i had a hint that it might be getting better after only two runs NOT using my wacky asics nimbus 10 shoes with the tilted left heel cup (don't think it was the shoe design, just a defect in the left shoe). time will tell but i'm very hopeful. i'm also amazed that i'm no longer maintaining or gaining any blisters with my nike zoom vromen 3's (or whatever they're called). for whatever reason i never thought nike made "serious" athletic shoes other than basketball. thinking now it was clearly some wacky old bias i had...
did a "short" 40 minute run with my newly shortened 3 minute warmup and 5 minute cooldown. standard 10 minutes at 6.3 mph (~9:30 mile) then decided to just stick to my sustainable 7.1 mph (~8:30 mile). i noticed that longer strides seemed to stress my achilles a bit so i just took it easy. i also noticed that i can comfortable do a faster rate "shuffle" type thing with shorter strides and it is still comfortable. wouldn't work at 8 mph or above but it was interesting to try.
