YAY!!! Considered taking another day off but thought I would give it a shot and see how things felt. Started the run with zero pain. It feels so good to run pain free. After a mile I could feel a slight burn in my achilles and that continued until mile 10. It was nice to just relax and enjoy the run without stressing about every step that I took. After 10 it started sliding up the pain scale a little ending at a 3. My stride was not affected but I felt like I should have stopped at 10. My left leg has always been a little stronger than my right so I am going to take this as an opportunity to strengthen my right leg. Thinking that I may have to adopt the T/R training plan (Teena/Rhett). I just don't have the mental toughness to be a cross training superstar like they are.
