I had a Salt Lake overnight for work this weekend so I got up and decided to try a 5K.  Enough time with that stupid tendon!  I was kind of curious how swimming affected my running for the last four weeks. 

There was a fast field that showed up so I was excited to get a good run in.  Everyone started out pretty fast with around a 5:10 pace and I was shooting for about 5:30 so it took a while to catch the group.  It felt great and the pace was right on for me, a guy I didn't recognize passed me at 2.5 miles and felt good enough to hang on until about the 3 mile point to kick it in a bit and pass him back.  That felt a bit like racing again!  Best news is that I have the tendon strength, I believe, so it's time to start training again!

Headed out for a run in Indianapolis. 3 miles in the morning and a 4 mile run in the afternoon. The ankle felt good so its time to get running.

Not sure of the race time or place. I have not seen results posted for this one. Still attempting to run with this tendon problem, but facing the obvious-you end up racing like you train so if you can't train you are slow! I couldn't miss this one though. It is such a fun course. The first mile went by pretty fast at 4:43 and the next mark I looked at was the 5k at 15:07 so it was a fast course. I felt great but kept getting sharp pains shooting up my calf from the tendon so I walked it for half a mile or so. It felt like it was doable around mile 4 and come on, it's downhill! So I gave it a shot again and caught back up to Rob. That was fun but I kept getting visions of something bad happening so I walked it some more. I think my time was about 34:40 I'll have to check it out when results are posted. This is the third messed up race in a row, so it's time off for a bit.
