4.7 junky miles in 38:52.  Ran pretty much as slow as I could.  Route was south to Irvington and back.  Ran at 7pm; beautiful evening.

Sore and tired all day.  Wondering if I shouldn't have just skipped this one.  End HR only 120.

 

Injury report:

Left achilles:  Pretty bad.  Stiff and sore the whole way.  Haven't iced recently.

Right achilles:  Much worse than last week.  Got progressively more sore and stiff as the run went on, which is bad news.

Right forefoot:  Somewhat tender on and off the whole run.


Triax: 107

Sorry to hear about the sore achilles...in both legs! Hey, now, don't try to copy John, it just isn't worth it.:-)

Take some time off, do some stretch, icing and ibuprofen (even taping if you are going to run). I would say check your shoes, but they are all relatively new.

Here is too a speedy recovery and getting back to some fast times like you just put down in the 5K.
