Tried to rest my calves/Achilles for a couple of days.  Didn't help much. Time to add eccentric raises back into the regimen.

Longer run.  Calf was twingy the first half.  Much better the second half. It mostly doesn't like downhills.

No calf soreness today.  Glad to see improvement.  Chilly morning.

So good to have the calf feeling better.  Now if it would warm up 10-20 degrees, that would be perfect.  
 

We have a record of four track meets for the kids this week.  Life is insane.

In other news. I set a goal to increase my family's fruit and vegetable intake.  Cole likes it.  The other kids don't.

Track meets two and three today.  Cole is trying to qualify for state in the 1600 and 3200. Not doing too badly for a freshman.

I felt fantastic today.  Usually I am dragging.

Shorts and tank top morning.  Finally!   Sore IT band this morning. I definitely ran hard on Saturday.

I can't tell if I am just really dehydrated and not used to the warmer weather, or if I am getting sick.  But, I felt horrible today.

A little fatigued still, but much better than yesterday.

Wasn't feeling great at the end of the week. I'm fighting some respiratory virus.  All the singing for callback auditions probably didn't help.  I did get to watch Cole at state this weekend.  He ran the 3200, 1600, and 4 x 800.  He was one of only two freshmen to qualify in each event.  He ran so well!  9:51 PR in the 3200 and 4:31 PR in the 1600.

Still feeling terrible.  Didn't sleep very well last night on top of fighting something off.  Ran nice and easy with Devra.

Felt a bit better than the last few days.  Enough to run longer.  Needed thinking time.

Muggy sweaty run this morning. I'm so glad I don't live where there is high humidity

Shorter run today.  I don't enjoy 30 degree temperature swings.  35 degrees was chilly
