Life's Swell

Am- 7 miles. The firsts few with my dad, Adam, Alli and Bent. They were kinda slow and then we picked it up a little bit once they flipped around. Me and my dad finished Atkin Loop and then around Nichols Peak. We had Duke with us so that was an adventure. I twisted my ankle while running the other day, and it and my Achilles has been bugging me. I’ve been icing a lot and sleeping with my straussburg sock on. And it is feeling much much much better but it’s still kinda hurting so I kept it kinda slow this morning. 8:00 avg 

Pm- 3 with Ell. ‘‘Twas a swell Christmas Eve run. (Also. We won the rook tournament) 

Am- 7 miles out to Sullivan.  35 minutes with bent and the rest on my own. It was beautiful this morning. The fog was just lifting and everything looked so colorful. It was cool especially since I don’t see fog much. Some guy talked to me about ketones and Ragnar when bent stopped for the bathroom. Kinda weird but he was nice anyways. Achilles is still a little bothersome but not bad. 

After my run I felt really blah. Not my normal self. all I wanted to do was lay around and I took a nap and I wasn’t hungry (which never ever happens). Not quite sure what was going on.

Pm- went sand sledding and jeeping. and then to my aunt Rachel’s after for hot chocolate. Ran home 3 miles from there with my mom. It was a lil slow but it was fun :))

Am- 9 miles around stone cliff. Body was a lil tired today, but it was a fine run. 3x2:00 pickups just to get going a little. 7:30 avg.  

Achilles felt so good the first 2 miles and then it slowly went downhill from there. Idk what to do about it. It feels good in my structures but those have been making the ball of my foot hurt. My Achilles hurts in my vomeros. But the ball of my foot feels good in those. It hurts my Achilles to go uphill. But the ball of my foot feels better on uphill. My Strausburg sock makes my Achilles feel so much better but it makes the ball of my foot bend, which makes it hurt. It’s either one or the other and it’s annoying. 

Pm- 3 miles easy with bent in Cedar on parkloop. Crazy afternoon 

7 miles with Scottie and bent. I think I’ll call it a day cuz my Achilles is hurting. My mom told me to not run at all so that it will just heal, but she left for work and she doesn’t have to know. 7:45 avg. 

5 towards little valley. Achilles was killing me today. Taking the rest of today and tomorrow off. We’ll see how Monday feels. Kinda frustrated cuz I am finally in good shape. Hope whatever the heck it is, it passes quickly
