  • 4 easy miles to the gym (walked for 1 minute at 2.5 miles)
  • Weightlifting

Today was the first day I ran 2 days back-to-back without any problems.  I figured it was OK because last night my achilles gave me NO niggles, even after my 10 mile run, 1/2 of it being uphill.  Usually I have to roll it a few times afterwards AND James has to do the marathon stick for about 15 minutes while we're watching TV at night for it to be OK.  I *almost* forgot that it was once injured! 

Planning on a good 10K race this Saturday at Spectrum. Hoping to get about 49:36 (8 min miles), but I'll do whatever the achilles wants to or doesn't want to do!  I'm mostly just running it to gaurantee my spot in the St. George marathon and...to watch some of my friends get amazing PR's!

NICE runs and miles this week, cute Brooke! That is such good news that the archilles is feeling great! Looks like the injury is behind you now! You are doing everything right...WAY to listen to the body!!!

Have SO MUCH FUN in SG! I think you can easily throw down some 7s there especially on the trail. Go GET'EM Brooke!!! :)

Wish I was going! Can't wait to read you guys's report! :)
