8 pretty easy. Saw the PT and going to change some things up that I'm doing for the Achilles. Load it a little more slowly than what I was doing.

6.5 easy, 7:47 avg.

Week 1 of PT-assisted Achilles rehab complete. Right side has very little pain. Left has been more problematic and initially flared up with the isometrics/plyometrics. But it's tolerating the work better and I feel slight improvement over a week ago.

PT had me stop eccentrics. Too early. Plyos/isos instead, and a bigger workload. My gait shows considerable compensation, so also focusing on widening out my footstrike slightly.

Right hip has gone backwards. Probably from compensating. Hoping it will come back under control.
