AM My quads and hamstrings are super sore. I did not drink as much water as I should have over the past 2 days during recovery which I'm guessing is why I have gotten progressively more sore. I'm going to jump back into Pfitz's schedule and consider last week a lost week of training. Stressing about missed miles and trying to make up for them will do more harm than good at this point. Maintained a relaxed pace throughout the run. Achilles felt good for the first 2 miles then started to flare up. I am thinking of doing something tomorrow that I never do. There is a 15 miler on the schedule and I am going to take ibuprofen before the run. Tell me it is not a mistake to do so. Total time: 47:55 (7:59/mile - just snuck past the 8 minute guy) PM Took the kids to the Bountiful High track and ran a couple of miles while they goofed around. Ran the straights hard and jogged the corners. Focused on my push off when I was running hard. I realized how lazy my natural push off is and how much work it takes to make it right. Definitely need to be better about incorporating striders into my runs. While doing the Achilles exercises that Trevor showed me I could feel it moving up and down in the sheath. Kind of a strange feeling.
