5 miles CTE: 40min bike at the Y.  13.1M.  HR around 160, mostly 105-110rpm @ 9 resistance.  Funny, when I biked the same pace 3 weeks ago, HR was only 140.  However, my legs felt very fresh today.  The good thing about being out of shape is that you can get a good workout without pounding your legs.

Have taken 3.5 weeks completely off as an "off season" to let my body recover, especially my Achilles.  I want to get my Achilles completely better before I run again, so I'll probably continue to just cross train for several more weeks.

Also did lower-body circuit including eccentric calf raises.
