Very glad today that I got hobnails into a pair of shoes on Sunday night.

Rushed to fit in an 8 mile run this afternoon. I had to be home by 3 for a conference call I had set up. Shortened the run to 7.5 miles because I was running out of both time and energy. I was really concerned because I had absolutely no energy while running, then my stomach started rumbling at 6 miles and it dawned on me (dope slap) that the only thing I had eaten all day was a hot chocolate and apple fritter at 8 a.m. on the way to the hospital to get my dad.

Taking getting used to the effect of running in snow on my THR.

12:00/12:48/13:22/13:01/13:16/12:54/13:18.

Very cold second half into the wind. Is summer almost here?

The heel/achilles is still sore. Going to set up a doctor's appointment. Might take the day off from running again.

PM - don't like the burning sensation in the upper right heel. After my office party I went to the gym and rode a stationary bike for 60 minutes (easy) to burn calories.

Apparently cycling does not ramp me up as much as running because I fell asleep quickly.

RHR 48 (yay to see it down again).

40 minutes on the Stationary Bike (Random/Level 3) this afternoon. The Achilles is not burning today because I have not used it as much the last 2 days.

Time to shower and head off to the MoTab concert.

RHR 53 after 9 hours of sleep. What's up with that?

Tried running on the treadmill tonight and gave up after 1/2 mile because the achilles was bothering me so much.

60 minutes on the stationary bike.

30 minutes on the recumbant stationary bike.
