Long-Term Running Goals:
Keep fit and stay semi-competitive as long as I can.
Personal:
I have a wonderful wife and son and we live in Riverton/Herriman Utah. I am a high school teacher, and head coach for cross country and track at Mountain Ridge High.
Warmed a mile so I could run the Ward and Neiborhood 5k. Warm up was 8:51. Ran the 5k in 6:57 ave, and beat Elayna at the end. Cooled down a mile after and then hhelped cook breakfast at the church. Beautiful morning! Achilles was bad today, but nothing like Saturday and yesterday.
Achilles is back to being sucky! Got it to the point that I ran, but it wasn't comfortable at all. Lifted first and then ran 4 miles at 7:39 ave. Achilles hurts!
It took me two days to get the achilles ready to run a bit today. Had some time this morning, so I made myself run longer, especially since I couldn't run yesterday. Went 7 miles out to the Cove and back, different route than usual. Achilles was pretty rough, for sure. 7:49 ave
Rough run at first. the achilles took a long time to start loosening up. I had to work a little to drop my first half average under 8:00 to 7:50 after an 8:44 ave. The kids rocked the 19.4 mile aid station at UV marathon. Early morning and not much food made this run a bit tougher too, but it was mostly the achilles.
