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.
Achilles seems to be getting a bit better most days. I went out today and it was faily slick out. First mile was 8:49, 2nd 7:52, last mile was 6:57. A sub 7:00! Been a long time. Achilles seems to be fine for a while, but after an hour or so, even with stretching really good and icing, it will get really stiff and still inflames. 7:52 ave
13 degrees out this morning! Roads were very slick from the sciff of snow we got. This artic freeze blowing in is legitly cold! I went easy today, but ended up talking myself innnnnnnnto going 4 miles. The achilles was pretty tight yesterday, so I took it easy and ate way too much sugar and junk. Woke up this morning mildly congrested, mostly from eating neighor goodies. I ultrasounded before I left for 7 minutes, it seems to help loosen me up. 8:13 ave for the run today.
Achilles was pretty tight today, spent about an hour ultrasounding and stretching it before I left. I was tight enough that I was feeling it the whole run, especially on the lateral distal end. Tried not to limp. It was warmer today (32 degrees) and not many people out and about, which was really nice. 7:54 ave for the run and the last mile was 6:46.
