Half mile repeats today. I hit my target pace on all 7 repeats. My legs are sore.

This run kicked my butt. I ran 12 last week and felt like I could have run way more but not this week. I'm used to running flat.  Up by Thanksgiving Point the hills start to grow.  The two miles added from last week to this week were up there.  I feel like a pansy because they are pathetic little hills but they kicked my butt.  There is no flat.  For about half the miles on this run there is just no flat ground.

This run started out great but about half way through my achilles started to hurt. It just got worse and by the last two miles I had to walk off the pain several times for a minute or so. This totally sucks. Just when I started feeling like I was making good progress I get a setback.  I had also signed up for a race on the 17th.  Just found out that it is the same day as the father and son's camp out.  I'm going to take a few days off and see how I feel.

4 nice and slow miles because I don't want to make my achilles worse. It is still nagging at me after taking almost a week off. Well I got bored and was feeling good so I decided to see what I could get my average cadence up to over 4 minutes.  I managed a 175 which is excellent for me.  I haven't counted for a while so I'm pleased with how it went.  I also ran it at about a 7:00 min pace.  Well, when I finished the 4 minutes my achilles started to hurt again.  I limped on it and took a shortcut through a neighbor's yard to finish up.  I'll try again in a few days.

4 slow miles. I forced myself to keep a slow pace this time with periodic walks. This run was more to shake off the cobwebs and get my heart rate up. I loosened things up but my achilles was always nagging at me but wasn't getting worse. I finished off the run with no further pain so I'm pleased with the progress. I'll probably wait until Monday to run again.  (Father's and son's outing)

The achilles pain started with the first step.  That sucks because I hadn't been feeling anything walking around during the day.  Well, after about a mile the pain started to go away.  After another it was just whispering to me.  The last 2 I didn't feel it all.  I'm still taking it easy and limiting the miles.

4 more easy miles.  I saw a big group of about 8 this morning.  I don't think I've ever seen a group like that on the trail before 6 before.  Weird.  I was happy to find that all was about the same as yesterday.  The pains all but disappeared on the second 2 miles.  I'll go for 5 on Friday.
