Had a great run this morning in almost perfect conditions. It felt like upper 40's and relatively dry. Ran with Raj from the Landsbrook Y as his last run before a half on Sunday. The entire run was at a comfortable pace in which we talked the entire time. No pick ups or hills today. Just steady, easy pace.
Today is the first run in over 6 weeks that my AT did not bother me!!! I'm so excited about this as it means I am actually getting progressively stronger and may be close to beating this whole tendonitus thing. One thing the higher milage revealed this last training cycle is that my weakness is in my lower calf muscles. I've got to be strategic in stretching and strengthening here so my gate will be stronger, more biomechanically stable, and less injury prone. NEXT I have to get back to doing some core work. Oh joy...
