Achilles was bad today!  Not as bad as yesterday, but basically it hurt the entire run.  On top of that Jaren is sick, he puked probably 6-7 time on this run.  Feel bad for him, not sure if he go a little food poisoning or what.   Or if he just ate to much exotic food at the PCC last night.  7:57 ave.  Heading back to the PCC today and then back to Honalulu tonight to fly home tomorrow.  Bummed to leave, we have had a blast here!

Afternoon solo run.  Not feeling it today after an April snow day!  This weather sucks!  I got spoiled in Hawaii, and 27 degrees is getting old.  Got snowed on too, and wet feet.  Welcome back from Christmas break part 2!  7:21 ave.

Ultasound helped the achilled alot to start out.

About 15 degrees warmer than our freezing 6 hour track meet at Herriman last night!  Shorts and long sleeves today and 7:25 ave.  The achilles has been really beat up the last 2 weeks!  It was rough going today for at least half the run.

Ran by myself with the distance kids south on the parkway into Bluffdale and back.  I have also been stuffy and coughing a bit all week.  I am getting tired of the congestion, but I got some out today at least.  Had to find a potty in Bluffdale, but had an okay run considering the achilles issuses and congestion.  The achilles was kind of tight the entire run, and I found my right ankle area getting weird tightness toward the end of the run, probably on account of overcompinsation.  7:16 ave for the run and around 40 degrees, so that was good, and I got 11 miles in.

AM- 6 miles at 7:28 ave.  Achilles was way tight and sore today and even after ultrasounding it took me a good 1.5 miles to be able to not limp.  Ran to practice at the park and then with the kids for most of the run, then home.

AM- 5 miles in the dark, mostly alone, the team was beat up and going slow.  Looped Rosecrest  and Monarch.  I dropped off at the hill and went out on Leila a bit and home for 5 miles.  Warmer, but very windy.  7:43 ave.

AM- ran with Jaren to practice and then with the kids on Mirabella and back.  Just made it home for a potty stop.  Pretty sore from Saturday's leg workout.  Achilles was stiff too, but I was able to ultrasound it first.

AM- This is probably the last run for a couple weeks.  I am going into a boot today to try to isolate this achilles and get it better, because it just isn't getting better after 12 months.  Ran with Jaren ad the kids this morning.  Went to rosecrest and then up to the church on Juniper Crest and back.  We turned around on Rosecrest before the church and ran home.  5.5 miles at 7:30 ave.  Achilles was super sore and stiff today, so it is time to try something else.  I would like to run and hike again without issues.
