9:15 AM - Woke up this morning early to the dogs barking their heads off. My mom and sister had to take both of their cars in to fix a broken windshield and something else, I forget. Then we got a call and my sister's car broke down on the way there. My brother Jonn wanted to take my car to take his girlfriend, Ellen to Fonda to watch a girls's basketball game. So I am home with my youngest brother, Harry who is himself stuck here because of his broken arm. Oii never a dull moment in the house, eh?
My left achilles is still hurting me. I am not sure why, but it is always on the outside, left part of it. It is bearable when I run but then I have to ice afterwards because there is that grinding feeling afterwards. What the heck is wrong with me. It is frustrating sometimes!
Did 41:08 on the treadmill. Felt fine, not too taxed aside from this bum achilles. Did 300 crunches afterwards. Going to do 3 x 15 sets of eccentric lifts on the stairs after my shower.
Total Time: 41:08 Total Distance: 4.28 miles Average Pace: 9:36
2:00 PM - Hopped on the treadmill for an afternoon run. Was watching part of "Saw VI" movie. Pretty gruesome, but non stop action so it helps to pass time while you have to get your run in. Kind of tired and I did a lot of stretching before and afterwards. I don't know but my achilles feels a little better. We'll see what happens. Going to get a shower and then ice some more. Felt good though on the jog just now.
Total Time: 51:30 Total Distance: 5.45 miles Average Pace: 9:26
8:30 PM - After dinner did a quick .5 miles @ 10:00 pace on the 'mill. Had to get to double digits. First time since Thanksgiving! Ran in a pair of Sanuks that Harry gave me.. a pair of skateboarderish sandals. Just wanted to get to 10 miles haha. The crazy things runners do. First time in my life I've run 3 times in a single day.
