Ran a progressive 20 miler this morning. Started out easy on wasatch, again had some GI issues. Picked up the pace a bit towards the zoo. Ran on shoreline over to legacy bridge. Devine and co left quite a mess up there. Picked it up to marathon pace along the U and guardsman out to sugarhouse park. Continued on SL marathon course until 27th south. Built up to tempo from Tanner pk to Smith's marketplace on 33rd S. Cooled down home.

Legs felt good, better the faster I ran. 2:14 total. 

Easy 10 miler on the city loop. Legs feel good.

Ran 2 mile repeats today at liberty park.

Started out with a run down to the park and a loop around to warm up. Ran the first interval in 10:50. Legs felt like I was pedaling squares. The second felt much more fluid and was a 10:32. The third felt the best and was a 10:25. I didn't have time to run the 4th as I was already late to pick my son up at daycare. Heart rate hovered in the 160's for all of them. Low 160's on the first, high 160's on the last.

Ran a very rushed cool down and now my legs feel like garbage.

Ran an easy zoo loop bv++. The hills were the only thing that felt good on my legs. Its a good thing that run is mostly hills. The flats and downs were painful. I think the workouts over the past 3 days have taken their toll.

I feel like the sheathing aroung my right achilles tendon is swollen. It is painful when I am not running and loosens up after a massage. During a run it only hurts on the downhill portions. I am tempted to call this tendonitis. Any other diagnoses out there?
