Went on a good run today with some of the guys from my company and platoon. We did some good hills, but I don't know our pace. Still waiting on a replacement Garmin Forerunner 305. It was probably slower than usual. I felt pretty good today, so hopefully that is a good sign for this week!

Took it easy with a Cross-Fit workout yesterday and ran a little loop today for PT. Trying to rest my right leg and get over this injury with a heavy dose of RICE. Hopefully by next week I'll be good to go again...

Trying to continue and take it easy and make sure my leg gets a workout but is able to recover. I will try and run tomorrow and see what consecutive days does. I ran about a 7:30 average and didn't feel to much pain.

I also focussed on a forefoot strike instead of landing on my heels. I think this is part of the problem with me as I overpronate with my right foot pretty bad. My calves are a bit sore, but my leg didn't hurt as much as it has before.
