I decided to give running a try today. I met the East High team at Liberty Park. I thought a little bit of flat running would be the best bet. We ran a lap warm up, followed by a lap of firemen, and then 2 more laps. My achilles felt pretty good after it warmed up. It seemed to like the soft surface. Unfortunately, my soleus did not. It started to pull on the last lap. But, overall, the run made me feel like I can ease back into full training again. Especially if I keep the strength and cross training up. So, I plan on some cross training this afternoon, and a mix of running/cross training on Saturday. If every thing goes well, I will resume full training on Monday.
PM: 1 hour on the cross trainer. I started at level 7, and increased every 20 minutes. I set a record for distance covered in an hour . . .7.05 miles. |
