AM - 6 miles easy before church on a foggy morning.

 

PM - 4 miles in the afternoon - very nice day - right around 70 degrees.   Back of left heel is feeling sore, and right adductor is feeling vaguely like a kink is there.

AM - 3 miles very easy.  Still a little soreness in back of my left heel - not sure if this is a minor thing that will subside, or something which will become more signficant.  Foam rolled upper legs afterwards - bilaterally quite noticable kinks and soreness had to be worked out.  Felt very good when done.

 

PM - 8 miles on the treadmill at lunch.  Decent pace - no notable soreness from this morning or yesterday.  Stretched and rolled afterwards as well.

AM - 4 miles on the treadmill in ATL.  Catching a cold (again) - but felt ok on the run.  Yesterday's planned second run was thwarted by flight issues from Detroit, and so I did not get in until late last night.  

PM - 6.5 miles on the treadmill after work.  Cold is getting worse, so it was not a very enjoyable run.

AM - 3 miles easy this morning before work.  Really felt terrible yesterday with a nasty cold and with travel - ended up not running.   Actually felt a good bit better today - hope to get another run in later today.

 

PM - 7 miles after work - slow but it felt good to get outside on a warm evening.

PM - warm day in the mid 80's today.  Went out around 4 pm and covered a little less than 15 miles - quite slow, but this was the longest run I have done since prior to the surgery.
