Nice, sustainable pace through the downhills and uphills.  It was enjoyable. :)  I still have tight tendons in my feet and heels (and sometimes my achilles on both legs, but not frequently) especially when I wake up or stand up to walk after sitting or laying down.  It goes away after a couple miles of running/walking.  I'm thinking it's from being on my feet so much with clincals and work?  So my calves are always tight I guess.  I think it will go away once I can start running more regularly and getting more regular sleep.  There isn't any sharp pain, so I'm just not going to worry about it right now.

nice running, brooke! i am glad things are going well for you.

i have very tight calves as well, presumably from being on my feet a lot at work. i have found that heel/toe walking has really helped my lower legs loosen up.

Thanks Allie! I will try that, too. :)

glad you had an enjoyable run and paying attention to the niggles. Being on your feet all day long is tough! Take care of yourself, cute girl!

I feel your pain, literally! I hope it is ok to ignore it as long as it gets better and loosens up. I HOPE!
