I've been kind of busy the last few weeks so haven't done that much but I did find time for a run today, so here goes... I'll start now. The goal... a 14 mile "race" in just under 3 weeks from now. I would like to try and do it in under 2 hours but that could be a tall order. Aaron

No exercise today (other than a bit of walking). My right Achilles is giving me a little bit of discomfort today. I hope this isn't going to be a problem. Confused
