Relentless

AM - 7 Rwix/Sunrise. Decided to just flip it the bird and go for a run. The left achilles has improved somewhat,but the right only saw improvement for the first few days (to where I could at least walk without significant pain and limping), but the last part of the week really didn't have any improvements. So laced 'em up and took the dog out - she was very happy to go for a bit. Then over to practice where I ran with the boys for 30 mins. It was super snowy when I started at home and the visibly was really only a few dozen feet. But down at practice there wasn't any snow. (Peg black 477.5)

AM - 7 Twix/Sunrise. Leg didn't really feel any worse or better than before. Ran with the girls this morning and it was pretty nice. (Peg blue 177.5)

afternoon - 5.5 Cottonwood wash. Wanted to hit the trail run today even though it would mean a double for the day. Nice run on a trail I hadn't ever run - from Cottonwood trailhead and instead of connecting to northern Prospector took it a wash (some absolutely breathtaking rock formations up there). The sand and miles didn't feel great on the leg. (Riders 546.5)

AM - 7 Twix/Sunrise. Same as the last few days for both run and pain. (Pace 265.75)

AM - 5.5 Parkway. No morning practice today, so Twix and I ran the Parkway. Still sticking with the singles, so I didn't run in the afternoon. (Peg 725.5)

afternoon - 5.5 Sand Hills. Ran over to the hill with the team and then just gave a little bit of cheer as they did the workout. (Adios 395.5)

morning - 11.25 Cholla Canyon. That's what I am calling this run now. Ran with some of the team from the LBMt. Trailhead out to the canyon Twix and I ran up a few weeks ago. Had a great run. Such a great group I get to work with - we really have a fun time and enjoy life. I will miss this group of seniors a lot - we have gone through a lot together (could maybe be my favorite class ever; top two or three for sure). Twix did a great job with everyone there. She didn't mad a at anybody and just cranked out the miles like the desert beast she is. (Peg blue 182)

Glad I ran this week. I don't know how long I would have to take off to get my leg fully healed, but I think I will just keep running what I can.

Goals for next week: keep being very focused on treatment.
