Well gave it a whirl today. I wasnt planning on running until Saturday but the last couple of days the achilles was feeling pretty good so  I ended up buying a fabrifoam achillers healer over the weekend and have been wearing the wrap pretty much 24-7.

Anyways this morning did a 20 minute run 10 min out and 10 min back. Well overall I think I passed the test. No flaring, minor pain which could be from pretty much being a slug for the last 3 weeks.

Goal this week is 20 minutes every other day and then will go from there.

Easy around the big block today. No pain in the achilles which is awesome for 2 runs this week. Still sticking to the every other day plan for a week or so. Need to make sure I am in the clear for good.

Added on to the big block loop. Achille is sore today! Jumped in with the highschool boys during a scrimmage yesterday. I think I am a better basketball player then a runner. Comeback?

Easy run with Ken, Jon, Riley, Denver and Dave. Great run in the run on some trails. Overall felt fine. Achille was getting a little ticked at me climbing up some hills so I eased the pace whiched helped alot. Icing now for the rest of the day.

Great run with the fellas though this morning, great way to start out a Saturday.

Met at Jon's house then headed east on 3100 north to the canal. Did 3.5 miles out then came all the back on the canal which added about another mile to the run.

Not going to lie, my left achille is flared again, no pain but alot of swelling. Not sure why it keeps coming back.... hopefully some anti-inflammatories will help.

avg pace 7:13 min/miles

Great weather today. Overall felt okay, had to stop twice to stretch the achilles out, but for the most part I can feel the fitness level coming back nicely. I would imagine it will come back farely quick since I only took 3 weeks off. Planning on some tempo runs next week to see where the fitness is at. After I can gage the tempo's my training plan will be written up.

Overall pace 6:55 min/miles Glad I got the 7 min/guy today.

Great start to the weekend with a good paced run with Jon, ken, Riley, Dave, and Denver. 3 miles into the run Ken paced Jon and I to a 1 mile 540. First time I have gone that fast since October. Afterwards my wife set up a killer breakfast for all of us. Nothing like breakfast burritos and chocolate milk. 

Avg pace today was 6:54 min/miles

Woke up this morning with some white stuff all over my car. Probably close to 6 inches of powder. It was great slow running today and temps were around 30 degrees so no complaints.
