Relentless

AM - 12.25 Twix/Pace Work. Nervous about running but achilles was feeling much better. The swelling had subsided significantly and I didn’t have any pain waking up. Was able to run with Twix with very little pain from the start. Then did a variable pace workout on the grass with the team. It was very nice to have more kids there. Ran with the JV boys. They are coming along, just not a lot of them. A little more pain a few hours after finishing, so I’m taking some time to ice right now. Abs before. (Boston 441.5)

AM - 9.5. Hurricane Pioneer Day 5K     17:15

Warmed for a bit and hoped the achilles would stretch out.  Got into the race and just kind moved with the flow.  First mile was pretty slow (5:50) which gave an old guy a chance to keep me near the front.   A few of my guys and one Hurricane guy were in front of me. Just kind of kept pushing and eventually caught the Hurricane guy and tried to push in at a decent pace.  Felt pretty decent about the effort.  I’m not in amazing shape, but was able to turn out a solid run throughout.  Cooled back around the course and ran in with E and Lanes. Then a bit more with the team. (Kinvara grey 222) 

AM - 5 Half and Half. Longer walk with Twix and then road and grass. Final day of Kids Club! Abs. (Peg black33 593)

AM - 10.25 Twix/City Wells. Walked for awhile with Twix and then a few miles with her. This seems to loosen the achilles a little nicer than just jumping into it. Then a beg split up and back City Wells. Most of the team, except Nathan, was a bit tired. (Peg green 356.5)

afternoon - weights and abs

AM - 14 Twix/Fields. Just a little with the dog after a walk. Took water out into Warner Valley and then ran back toward the team. We had a good long run with a pretty decent pace. I, like most, felt much better today than yesterday. Abs. (Ravenna 252.5)
