This morning I had to go work at my daughter's school so I didn't get out until the afternoon.  That was just as well because it was a cold morning and still only around 40 when I ran plus a pretty good wind that made it feel colder.  I ran easy getting going and had the normal achilles issues.  That got better as I went along but had some hip issues as well.  I am just feeling kind of beat up right now and need to get all these minor issues taken care of.  I did feel good running wise and picked up the pace the last four miles to around 7:30.  Turned out to be a good run.

Jim,

Hang in there...after almost a year I came to terms that my achilles may never feel better. However, the pain has amost completely left over the past couple of months. By the way, nice run today!

Dave, thanks for the feedback. It is easy to get frustrated with injuries but need to take the longer term view of things. Today was a better day so hopefully something I can continue to train through as you said.
