I only run on days that end in a "y."

50 degrees and overcast at 6 am.  It was already quite bright outside.  I am glad I had the patience to wait this long before attempting to run.  This morning went off with out a hitch and I have zero pain at I type this.  Hopefully, I am over the injury.  I even brought my super-cushy-high-heel Nike Vomero's with me.  I have not worn them for months but figured it would not hurt to run the first few runs in them just in case.  I have worn them in the past to get through injuries and it worked.

I grabbed the Garmin my wife had been using.  This was a mistake because the battery was gone after a mile and half.  I figured I put in a good 4.5 - 5 miles @ recovery pace.  If all feels good the rest of the day I will go out for another 5 tomorrow.

Chilly 56 degrees and windy - sorry guys. :-)  

I ran 4 miles with my wife on some local trails.  I haven't run such an easy pace in a long, long time, but it was good for my Achilles. And I pushed her to 4 miles which she has never done, so it was good for her, too. I actually had some running soreness from yesterday which is odd.  It has not been that long since I ran last.  Anyway, things are feeling pretty good so I plan on running 4-5 miles easy this week and see how it goes.  I would like to be at a place where I can start training when I get back to the U.S.

Solid 7 miles this morning with zero pain.  A comfortable 8:30 pace on a flat manicured path around a couple of small ponds.  1 lap was close to a mile.  Windy and chilly - low 50's.  I had to break out a regular running shirt.   Feel very close to back to normal.  

We walked around a big Dutch amusement park for 8 hours today and no lingering soreness, either.  My wife is hopeful that this will solve my moodiness.  I must say I was in a very good mood today.  LOL.

Another cool morning - ran 4 miles through some paths/trails and then hit the road for another 4.  I am quite sure the injury is gone.  I pushed the pace the last 2 miles to 7:40's and felt very good.  Overall pace for the run 8:24.  

Great morning - overcast and 62 degrees.  Went out on some country roads this morning and through a couple small villages.  I actually saw another runner this morning.  He looked at me with a look of surprise, too.  There are joggers around but runners are rare.  Well, you know how to tell the difference.

I ran just over 7 miles with the last 4 in 7:40's range.  Overall pace for the run was 8:00.  I will probably take tomorrow off since I don't want to push the mileage to high or too fast the first week back.
