6 miles easy with the team. First day of practice and it was nice to be back. No Achilles pain. Didn’t realize how tight my calves were. I knew they were a little and I’ve been working them, but they were soooo much tighter than I realized. On the mend tho!

6 minute test. Going in, i was a little worried, but excited. I felt like i trained good over the break, but was nervous beucase i also took more days off than i wanted to due to my stupid achilles. Anyways, through almost 3 laps i was with a large chunk of the girls, and then i started getting tired. i pushed but lost contact with the group. ended up finishing 1710, which isnt quite where i wanted to be, but with the given circumstances, i will take it. I was 10 meters farther than last year, which actually makes me happy beucase, before i read my blog from last year, i thought i didnt improve at all. Im excited to see what i can do.

5 easy on Main Street with 15xstrides at 3k. Felt really good.

Weights and tissue work after. 

Gonna start increasing mileage slowly!

2 miles to Main Street and home. Kept it chill. Retired my favorite shoes this morning. Discovered they were the root to the pain in the ball of my foot a while ago. 

6 miles on dikes. Part with everyone, part with just Alison. Kept a good pace, 7:24 average. Achilles felt good through 4 miles and then started hurting. 

Some scraping today, with stem and icing. Not tons of pt cuz it was hurting quite a bit

mile warm, and then 4x1000 with 3 minute recovery. a mile(ish) cool. 

So i just did a short warm becuase coach told me to cut back miles again cuz my stupid achilles. anyways, i got back and was just talking to coach, and he told me that me and sam were almost on the record board for the 6 minute test (which is the best 25ish people ever since hes been coaching). It was kinda fun talking to him, becuase sometimes i forget that if i was on the team literally any year before i got here, i would have been one of the faster girls. We also talked about mileage goals for when im healthy. I dont want to get too excited, cuz first i have to get (and stay) healthy, but im a little excited knowing that coach wants me around and has future thoughts about me on the team. 

We split into two groups and i was in the 5k group, which makes me happy. its kinda hard cuz all the girls near my speed are in the 1500 group, but it will be soooooo good for me. We had 7k's with 3 minute recovery but i did a half workout as to not put too much stress on my achilles becuase i actually want it to heal. It honestly felt really good so thats a relief.  I started wayyy too fast and by the fourth one i was dying. 3:30, 3:38, 3:40, 3:50. I need to figure out a good strategy for me personally. I can hang with the group for a few repeats and then completely die and hopefully get better every time, or start slower at my own pace, and be consistent the whole workout. I need to figure out how coach wants me to do it. anyways, it was an overall good workout.
